Create a new tree

[Reinhard]

Hi,

I have installed WindowBuilder 4.3.0 on Eclipse 3.1.2.
These are my first steps in Java and I will make a decision between Swing and SWT for me.

I have created some GUIs with WindowBuilder in SWT. Here I can create a new "Tree" and drop on the tree "Tree Columns" and "Tree Items". This make the development of a test tree very fast

Now I would do the same with WindowBuilder in Swing. I have created a "JTree" and I don't find some "JTree Columns" or "JTree Items". Must I create the tree in Swing by hand?

Thanks for your tips,
Reinhard

Yes. Swing does not have the equivalent of the SWT TreeColumns and TreeItems.

In Swing, you need to create a subclass of TreeModel and and then assign it to the JTree using the setModel() method.
