Tree
Display
There
are a number of issues with customising display and
interaction with trees in Java. It requires the overloading
of all the basic Swing JTree classes, including the tree
model and tree node classes. A number of difficulties
have been encountered with using custom tree icons in
applets, related to security, and these have to be worked
around.
Reverting
to an application
solves most of the icon problems.

The
use of JTrees for complex interactions poses some challenges:
|
- issues
with casting of data types used as tree nodes.
|
Early
prototypes have worked around these and attempts at
optimisation of these solutions are continuing.
