JTree File Browser

Question

I have this class to browse the contents of my default folder. However it displays the
full path plus the folder & file. How would remove the path and retain the folder
and file only ?

In your node renderer:
      // This is what you have:
      DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
      File file = (File) node.getUserObject();
      String name = file.getName();
      // This is what you missed:
      setText(name);
