Hi,

I'm using JTree to display the contents of the selected directory recursively. Now when an empty directory is present on the filesystem, it is displayed as a leaf node as it does not have any child.

How do I use the parent node icon for empty directories?

Are you using any special TreeCellRenderers with your tree? You could display the desired icon using a file.isDirectory() test inside the renderer.

I'm not using special tree cell renderer. Using isDirectory is fine, but how do I specify the icon to use?

Hmmm... that's why I was asking if you were using any TreeCellRenderers - you'd have to specify that in your own TreeCellRenderer -

Something like -
