Building a Complete Check Box Node Tree

Question

My objective is to build a check box node tree with the following features .

Nodes : There will be 2 types of nodes all over the tree .

1 . Parent Nodes

2 . Child Nodes

All the nodes are check box nodes . The parent nodes need to have an additional folder like icon , in addition to the check box.

And all the check boxes must be editable More than one check box must be checkable at a time .

What is the best possible approach that i can take ?

Looks similar to this Stack Overflow result: JTree with checkboxes

In this latter example, change nonLeafRenderer to return your new component (a folder with a checkbox, possibly in a JPanel.)

If you want a ready to go component you can use CheckBoxTree from Jide-oss.
