I am not familiar with JTree component and XML. I Have an XML File which represents Categories in Prestashop ecommerce platform :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

I could not change XML file format because it's generated by prestashop webservices. What I would like to do is to populate a JTree with all my categories inside the XML with hierarchical.
For example, here you have Firt one : "Racine". Under Racine, you have "Accueil". The result should be :
Racine
Accueil
Télécommande
Audio-Vidéo
Casque Yurbuds
Multimédia
How could I do that ? Thanks
Found a solution.
Create a class "MyTreeModel" which implements TreeModel. Inside this class, add an Object that represents my category. Get all childs of Categories and add to a HashMap with
Contruct a JTree with MyTreeModel as parameter. Voilà
