There are quite a few different ways of displaying XML in a tree - e.g.
should only element appear, then should text & attributes appear in another
control. However if you want to improve the TreeModel by all means go ahead and
hack it to improve it. Its more of a proof of concept right now, I'm sure you
can do much better ;-)
If you like you could submit your changes back and we can include them in
the dom4j distro.

Subject: [dom4j-user] current
DocumentTreeModel... useful?
I've been trying to display a XML file in a JTree component for a
(supposedly) easy way to view and edit a DOM4j document. I've discovered
that the DocumentTreeModel class really doesn't do what I would call an
impressive job of displaying the document! Namespace information,
comments, unknown elements, and text nodes are all shown the same way (as
leaves, no differentiation between them). All elements with elements or
other information are shown logically as branch nodes. Attribute data is
stored in the tree, but isn't shown in ANY way! I don't see any way to
make good use of it as it is written and I'm quite tempted to create my own
TreeModel and CellRenderer then subclass JTree and make it all appear what
seems to be logical to me (not completely determined yet). Anyone else
tried to use a JTree to display their documents with success? I really
want to use this as a way to test a bunch of element editing functions that
I'm working on, but I don't want to have to re-invent the wheel....
