/**
 * A <code>DefaultMutableTreeNode</code> is a general-purpose node in a tree data
 * structure.
 * For examples of using default mutable tree nodes, see
 * <a
 href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html">How to Use Trees</a>
 * in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * A tree node may have at most one parent and 0 or more children.
 * <code>DefaultMutableTreeNode</code> provides operations for examining and modifying a
 * node's parent and children and also operations for examining the tree that
 * the node is a part of.  A node's tree is the set of all nodes that can be
 * reached by starting at the node and following all the possible links to
 * parents and children.  A node with no parent is the root of its tree; a
 * node with no children is a leaf.  A tree may consist of many subtrees,
 * each node acting as the root for its own subtree.
 * <p>
 * This class provides enumerations for efficiently traversing a tree or
 * subtree in various orders or for following the path between two nodes.
 * A <code>DefaultMutableTreeNode</code> may also hold a reference to a user object, the
 * use of which is left to the user.  Asking a <code>DefaultMutableTreeNode</code> for its
 * string representation with <code>toString()</code> returns the string
 * representation of its user object.
 * <p>
 * <b>This is not a thread safe class.</b>If you intend to use
 * a DefaultMutableTreeNode (or a tree of TreeNodes) in more than one thread, you
 * need to do your own synchronizing. A good convention to adopt is
 * synchronizing on the root node of a tree.
 * <p>
 * While DefaultMutableTreeNode implements the MutableTreeNode interface and
 * will allow you to add in any implementation of MutableTreeNode not all
 * of the methods in DefaultMutableTreeNode will be applicable to all
 * MutableTreeNodes implementations. Especially with some of the enumerations
 * that are provided, using some of these methods assumes the
 * DefaultMutableTreeNode contains only DefaultMutableNode instances. All
 * of the TreeNode/MutableTreeNode methods will behave as defined no
 * matter what implementations are added.
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans&trade;
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
