Each time, before calling populateTree(), we should initialize again "rootNode" and "treeModel" and set the "treeModel" to the tree:

Hey managed to get the JTree to update I was not redrawing it the correct way. I have one last question. If you use a treeModel is there anyway to rename the node after it has been inserted.

I noticed you are passing the name of the User object to the constructor of DefaultMutableTreeNode. This works, however, for renaming and IMO best practice dictates that you specify a custom User Object in the constructor of your node. The node will then use the toString method of your object for the node label.

subFolder = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(getUser(a));

And then assuming User's toString returns getName(), you're good. Anytime you want access to this object you can simple do:

User user = (User)node.getUserObject();

Then changing the name of 'user' will change the name of the nodes label.

To refresh the GUI we also need to call nodeChanged:
defaultTreeModel.nodeChanged(node);

I know this is still not IMO best practice but is doing this the values in the Jtree do not chnage, do you know were i am going wrong
