The changed master node

mergeNodes

public static void mergeNodes(javax.swing.tree.TreeNode master,
                              javax.swing.tree.TreeNode slave)

Merge Nodes. Merge two nodes according to the merging rules of the masterNode. Each Subclass should override this implementation.

Parameters:

master - The master node to merge with

slave - The node to merge into the master

mergeNodeChildren

public static void mergeNodeChildren(javax.swing.tree.TreeNode node)

Merge Node Children. Merge the children of a node according to the merging rules of the parent. Each subclass must implement this method

Parameters:

node - The parent node from which the children are merged
