/**
* The model used by JTree.
*
* JTree and its related classes make extensive use of
* TreePaths for identifying nodes in the TreeModel.
* If a TreeModel returns the same object, as compared by
* equals, at two different indices under the same parent
* than the resulting TreePath objects will be considered equal
* as well. Some implementations may assume that if two
* TreePaths are equal, they identify the same node. If this
* condition is not met, painting problems and other oddities may result.
* In other words, if getChild for a given parent returns
* the same Object (as determined by equals) problems may
* result, and it is recommended you avoid doing this.
*
* Similarly JTree and its related classes place
* TreePaths in Maps. As such if
* a node is requested twice, the return values must be equal
* (using the equals method) and have the same
* hashCode.
*
* For further information on tree models,
* including an example of a custom implementation,
* see How to Use Trees
* in The Java Tutorial.
