Jtree without the scroll

[Tim van Deursen]

I'm trying to get a Jtree in my program witch will get scrollbars when it expands.
I've placed the Jtree into a scrollpane, but it seems as if the scrollpane doesn't see when the tree expands :?
what am i doing wrong..
Here is some code:
public HoofdVenster() {
super("ProjectX");
this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
this.getContentPane().add(jScrollPane1, null);
jScrollPane1.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
jScrollPane1.setBounds(new Rectangle(18, 24, 280, 290));
jScrollPane1.setVisible(true);
DefaultMutableTreeNode top = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Translation Engineer"); //Root node not visible
createNodes(top);
final JTree tree = new JTree(top);
tree.setRootVisible(false);
tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode
(TreeSelectionModel.SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION);

test.setText("jEditorPane1");
test.setBounds(new Rectangle(314, 26, 223, 218));
tree.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(20, 20));
jScrollPane1.getViewport().add(tree, null);
this.getContentPane().add(test, null);

Try creating the tree first and then creating the JScrollPane with one of the constructors that takes a Component. Maybe like this:

JScrollPane jScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(tree,
                                         JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
                                         JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

Then add the JScrollPane to your content pane.

Well believe it or not but i think this was the problem:
tree.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(20, 20));

After i removed it, the scrollpane started to react on the tree.
Thanks anyway, it took me more then two hours to figure it out..
anyway i found it.
