Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Allow for developers and end users to sort, filter and highlight the data in a tree.
JUSTIFICATION :
This is a common requirement in current user interfaces and a high-quality implementation should be part of Swing so that users are not required to implement the same functionality from scratch multiple times.
Similar functionality was implemented for JTable in JDK6 (thanks!) and I believe that JTree should receive the same treatment.
A common usage of this functionality is a JTree whose contents get filtered and highlighted based on the contents of a JTextField. SWT/JFace includes FilteredTree that makes this really easy. Sorting is useful for TreeTables.
