Oli,

Perhaps you'll find an open source portlet for your needs. I can tell you
how I've done this - but it was for my old employer and I'm not able to
share unfortunately.

- My portlet rendered the markup for flash movie/object tag. The movie
contained the flash tree component and some resizing logic.

- The Macromedia Flash 2004 components now take their data model in xml (at
the time I had to parse the xml and set the flash ui with some
actionscript.) Anyhow, the movie loads and requested the xml/tree data from
the server.

- A servlet returned the xml to the embedded Flash UI component.

Flash is not the only solution (but often my preference over applets);
Applet (as you mention), dHtml, (SVG might be possible?)

Some example links:
Flash: http://www.macromedia.com/flex/samples/blogreader/blogreader.mxml
DHTML: http://www.bindows.net/bindows/samples/apibrowser/
Java-Applet: http://www.jpowered.com/free_java_applet/tree.htm
(open source tree ui are likely out there, but I don't know any off hand)
