Class DefaultMutableTreeNode

public static final Enumeration
 EMPTY_ENUMERATION 

An empty enumeration, returned by children() if a node has no children.

protected Vector children 

The child nodes for this node (may be empty).

protected MutableTreeNode parent

protected Object userObject 

userObject

public DefaultMutableTreeNode()

Creates a DefaultMutableTreeNode object. This is equivalent to DefaultMutableTreeNode(null, true).

public DefaultMutableTreeNode(Object userObject)

Creates a DefaultMutableTreeNode object with the given user object attached to it. This is equivalent to DefaultMutableTreeNode(userObject, true).

Parameters:

userObject - the user object (null permitted).

public DefaultMutableTreeNode(Object userObject,
 boolean allowsChildren)

Creates a DefaultMutableTreeNode object with the given user object attached to it.

Parameters:

userObject - the user object (null permitted).

allowsChildren - true if the code allows to add child nodes, false otherwise

public void add(MutableTreeNode child)

Adds a new child node to this node and sets this node as the parent of the child node. The child node must not be an ancestor of this node. If the tree uses the DefaultTreeModel, you must subsequently call DefaultTreeModel.reload(TreeNode).

Parameters:

child - the child node (null not permitted).

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if getAllowsChildren() returns false.

IllegalArgumentException - if isNodeAncestor(TreeNode) returns true.

IllegalArgumentException - if child is null.
