Unlike a JButton, setIcon() does not add an icon to the text label. Rather, in a radio button, the method is used to customize the icons used to depict its state. However, by using the HTML capabilities in a label, it is possible to add an icon to the label without affecting the state-depicting icons. This technique is identical to the one used for checkboxes.
