- All Superinterfaces:
    `TreeNode`
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `DefaultMutableTreeNode`, `JTree.DynamicUtilTreeNode`

      public interface MutableTreeNode
      extends TreeNode

  Defines the requirements for a tree node object that can change -- by adding or removing child nodes, or by changing the contents of a user object stored in the node.

    - #### insert

          void insert​(MutableTreeNode child,
                      int index)

      Adds `child` to the receiver at `index`. `child` will be messaged with `setParent`.
      Parameters:
        `child` - node to be added
        `index` - index of the receiver

    - #### remove

          void remove​(int index)

      Removes the child at `index` from the receiver.
      Parameters:
        `index` - index of child to be removed

    - #### remove

          void remove​(MutableTreeNode node)

      Removes `node` from the receiver. `setParent` will be messaged on `node`.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node to be removed from the receiver

    - #### setUserObject

          void setUserObject​(Object object)

      Resets the user object of the receiver to `object`.
      Parameters:
        `object` - object to be set as a receiver

    - #### removeFromParent

          void removeFromParent()

      Removes the receiver from its parent.

    - #### setParent

          void setParent​(MutableTreeNode newParent)

      Sets the parent of the receiver to `newParent`.
      Parameters:
        `newParent` - node to be set as parent of the receiver
