## Class DefaultTreeCellEditor

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellEditor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ActionListener, EventListener, CellEditor, TreeSelectionListener, TreeCellEditor

      public class DefaultTreeCellEditor
      extends Object
      implements ActionListener, TreeCellEditor, TreeSelectionListener

  A `TreeCellEditor`. You need to supply an instance of `DefaultTreeCellRenderer` so that the icons can be obtained. You can optionally supply a `TreeCellEditor` that will be layed out according to the icon in the `DefaultTreeCellRenderer`. If you do not supply a `TreeCellEditor`, a `TextField` will be used. Editing is started on a triple mouse click, or after a click, pause, click and a delay of 1200 milliseconds.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.
