Dynamic addition of node to non-leaf node not working | JTree

Question

I am trying to dynamically add nodes to a JTree inside the pop up component and JMenuItem components' click action event. I right click the node components and add another node. The addition of node is working for leaf node, but not for a non-leaf node. I have no idea what the problem is with the code. It seems like the node is added but the Gui is not updated.

Platform: Windows 7

Java java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Thank you in advanced for the solution and the description of the problem.

Use below line

DefaultTreeModel model = (DefaultTreeModel) tree.getModel();

instead of

DefaultTreeModel model = new DefaultTreeModel(root);

Finally expand the desired node.

Here is the sample code about How to expand or collapse all JTree nodes?
