Need help filling a jtree using recursion

**TroostMe** · January 12th, 2014, 09:11 PM

Okay so I am passing a list<string> full of classes. These classes are coming from a jar. Anyways my question is how can I take my file paths and organize them into a jtree. I have tried for so long but this recursion is kicking my butt and hurts my head.

Give you an idea of what I created.

public static DefaultMutableTreeNode addNodesMe(DefaultMutableTreeNode node, List<String> classes) {

}

We need that node to start as null and end up being something we can plug into our jtree. It just has to put every thing into the correct folders.

Here is an example of the strings I am recieving.

com/Tarnadas/ImOnAHorse/Metrics$1.class
com/Tarnadas/ImOnAHorse/Metrics$Graph.class
com/Tarnadas/ImOnAHorse/Metrics$Plotter.class

Hi, post your code. It's hard to give you hints without seeing the code.

So you have these strings and your goal is to have a JTree that displays something like this?

com
    Tarnadas
        ImOnAHorse
            Metrics$1.class
            Metrics$Graph.class
                .....

First of all, since each string has a complete path, one thing is clear: for each string you have to "navigate" into JTree, starting from the root, to find the node under which to put the filename. Eventually creating the intermediate nodes if not present.

To be more clear: when you arrive at string "com/Tarnadas/ImOnAHorse/Exceptions/NotEnoughFuelException.class", in the JTree you can find the "com" and under it the "Tarnadas", and then the "ImOnAHorse" nodes. But you have to create the "Exceptions" node before to put into it the "NotEnoughFuelException.class" node.

All this has, by itself, nothing to do with "recursion".
