Package org.geotoolkit.gui.swing.tree Description

Workaround for the missing javax.swing.tree.TreeNode.getUserObject() method. Sun seems to have forgotten this method in the first Swing draft. Unfortunately, since TreeNode is an interface, Sun can't fix it without breaking compatibility. We have to fix it ourselves, which is the main purpose of this package.

This package provides also a few additional functionalities listed below. Those methods work on Swing tree models. Despite the fact that they are defined in a Swing package, the tree model can be used as a generic model for arbitrary applications (not limited to Swing widgets).

• A set of static methods in the Trees class.
• A TreeTableNode interface used as a bridge toward Swingx JXTreeTable.
• A TreeNodeFilter interface for copying a portion of a tree.
• Implementation of DefaultMutableTreeNode.toString() can format InternationalString according a Locale.
