How to display desired label i/o values on JuRadioButtonGroupPanel ?

Question

Hi ,
Appreciate if someone can help !
I have created a Radio Buttons group by using JURadioButtonGroupPanel on the JPanel, then I entered 2 values (Y,N) in the Radio ButtonGroup Binding Editor under set of values field. When running the form, I could see the values. However, What should I do next if I want to show more meaningful wordings ('Yes', 'No') i/o the values (Y,N) on the screen ? Thanks in advance.

I try to avoid using JURadioButtonGroupPanel and try to use comboboxes or checkboxes instead. But that's not always feasible. I have just recently noticed the bug about the radio buttons not being enabled/disabled based on the specification and/or an overwritten isAttributeUpdateable in the view object/entity so I have not had the time to figure out a solution or posting a bug report.
But the "rowImpl" text for the radio button labels it seems to me that an extra refreshControl solves it most of the time. I subclassed JURadioButtonGroupPanel, below is my overwritten createButtons method which checks for this "ugly label", refreshes the control and tries again (max 10 times). Maybe not the most elegant solution but sadly ADF Swing does not often give space for the most elegant solutions (unless you study the framework very hard (by reading the source code, documentation is sparse) and rewrite big chunks of it).
public class FSRadioButtonGroupPanel extends JURadioButtonGroupPanel
  public FSRadioButtonGroupPanel(
  public AbstractButton[] createButtons(Object values[])
    AbstractButton[] ret = super.createButtons(values);
    if (ret != null && ret.length > 0)
      int count = 1;   
      while (ret[0] != null && ret[0].getText().contains("RowImpl") && count <= 10)
        System.out.println("Ugly Tab text, recreating: " + count);
        getModel().refreshControl();
        ret = super.createButtons(values);
        count++;     
    return ret;
}
