Class DefaultMutableTreeNode

public static final Enumeration EMPTY_ENUMERATION

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

protected boolean allowsChildren

allowsChildren

protected Vector children

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

protected MutableTreeNode parent

The parent of this node (possibly null).

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.

public Object clone()

Returns a clone of the node. The clone contains a shallow copy of the user object, and does not copy the parent node or the child nodes.

Overrides:

clone in interface Object

Returns:

A clone of the node.

Returns the last child node belonging to this tree node.

Returns:

The last child node.

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if this tree node has no children.

public DefaultMutableTreeNode getLastLeaf()

Returns:

The first leaf node.

getLeafCount

Returns:

int

public int getLevel()

getLevel

Returns:

int
