We would like to know how to assign DefaultMutableTreeNode to JTree.
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Container; //from w w w . j a v a 2s .com import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.JTree; import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode; public class Main extends JFrame { public static void main(String[] args) { new Main(); } public Main() { Container content = getContentPane(); Object[] hierarchy = { "javax.swing", "javax.swing.border", "javax.swing.colorchooser", "javax.swing.event", "javax.swing.filechooser", new Object[] { "javax.swing.plaf", "javax.swing.plaf.basic", "javax.swing.plaf.metal", "javax.swing.plaf.multi" }, "javax.swing.table", new Object[] { "javax.swing.text", new Object[] { "javax.swing.text.html", "javax.swing.text.html.parser" }, "javax.swing.text.rtf" }, "javax.swing.tree", "javax.swing.undo" }; DefaultMutableTreeNode root = processHierarchy(hierarchy); JTree tree = new JTree(root); content.add(new JScrollPane(tree), BorderLayout.CENTER); setSize(275, 300); setVisible(true); } private DefaultMutableTreeNode processHierarchy(Object[] hierarchy) { DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(hierarchy[0]); DefaultMutableTreeNode child; for (int i = 1; i < hierarchy.length; i++) { Object nodeSpecifier = hierarchy[i]; if (nodeSpecifier instanceof Object[]) // node with children child = processHierarchy((Object[]) nodeSpecifier); else child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(nodeSpecifier); // Leaf node.add(child); } return (node); } }
