Oliver,
Wicket (core and extensions) has several tree components and they all
currently use Swing's TreeModel (javax.swing.tree.TreeModel). I say
currently as this is the case upto and including Wicket 1.4 but there is
some discussion about using a new type of model, more suited to webapps, in
Wicket 1.5. Swing's TreeModel is not coupled to JTree at all even though it
happens to be the model JTree uses. Wicket does _not_ use JTree, but its
trees use TreeModel.
In the context of a Swing UI your code below would be much more flexible,
powerful and in the spirit of Swing if you were to explicitly use a
TreeModel to manage interaction with the underlying data; I expect even
Swing's out-of-the-box AbstractTreeModel (or the provided concrete subclass,
DefaultTreeModel which uses DefaultMutableTreeNode) would suffice for your
use-case based on what the code you've posted is doing.
Once you have created your TreeModel, you can use it with Wicket's trees too
as simply as:
add(new LinkTree("tree", myTreeModel));
for example
See [1] for a simple example of how to use JTree (with a TreeModel), [2] for
a simple Wicket tree example and if you want to learn a bit more about how
some of Wicket's trees work check out this class diagram [3] from a couple
of years ago.
Does that make sense?
