JDK-8272105 - TestButtonGroupFocusTraversal.java fails in 8u
Description
The test TestButtonGroupFocusTraversal.java also verifies that ActionEvent is not sent for JToggleButtons and JCheckbox, only for JRadioButtons.

Currently, TestButtonGroupFocusTraversal.java is in problem list for 8u, see JDK-8272105. For this reason, the fix for JDK-8259237 cannot be verified automatically.

I propose extracting the part which verifies whether ActionEvent is raised into a separate test.
Comments
This issue mostly affects 8u because the TestButtonGroupFocusTraversal.java test can't be run; if it's run, it fails. To facilitate testing the scenario in 8u, it would be good to separate different scenarios tested into different test cases.
