/**
 * Represents a path to a node. A TreePath is an array of Objects that are
 * vended from a TreeModel. The elements of the array are ordered such
 * that the root is always the first element (index 0) of the array.
 * TreePath is Serializable, but if any 
 * components of the path are not serializable, it will not be written 
 * out.
 * <p>
 * For further information and examples of using tree paths,
 * see <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html">How to Use Trees</a>
 * in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
