select and deselect multiple nodes

[Colleen Lynch]

Hopefuly someone will know a solution.
Say for example I have 2 nodes selected in my tree and then I select another without pressing the ctrl key, therefore removing the others that were previously selected. Is there a method that will give me the nodes currently selected?
As the nodes are selected in the tree, they are added to a vector, when they are deselected, I want to remove them from the vector.
I hope someone has a solution

in javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeSelectionModel getLeadSelectionPath() returns the previous selection path.

Just add a mouselistener to your tree. When the tree has some sort of selection, just do
and add this to a static ArrayList or Vector in a Singleton based on whether or not it is selected.

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
  ArrayList selectedObjects = new ArrayList();
  JTree tree = (JTree)e.getSource();
  TreePath[] paths = tree.getSelectionPaths();
  int size = paths.length;
  for(int i = 0 ; i < size; i++) {
    Object object = path.getLastPathComponent();
    selectedObjects.add(object);
  }
  Singleton.setSelectedObjects(selectedObjects);
}

The Singleton could then fire an event every time it gets set with the selected nodes.
