/**
  * DynamicTreeNode illustrates one of the possible ways in which dynamic
  * loading can be used in tree.  The basic premise behind this is that
  * getChildCount() will be messaged from JTreeModel before any children
  * are asked for.  So, the first time getChildCount() is issued the
  * children are loaded.<p>
  * It should be noted that isLeaf will also be messaged from the model.
  * The default behavior of TreeNode is to message getChildCount to
  * determine this. As such, isLeaf is subclassed to always return false.<p>
  * There are others ways this could be accomplished as well.  Instead of
  * subclassing TreeNode you could subclass JTreeModel and do the same
  * thing in getChildCount().  Or, if you aren't using TreeNode you could
  * write your own TreeModel implementation.
  * Another solution would be to listen for TreeNodeExpansion events and
  * the first time a node has been expanded post the appropriate insertion
  * events.  I would not recommend this approach though, the other two
  * are much simpler and cleaner (and are faster from the perspective of
  * how tree deals with it).
  *
  * NOTE: getAllowsChildren() can be messaged before getChildCount().
  *       For this example the nodes always allow children, so it isn't
  *       a problem, but if you do support true leaf nodes you may want
  *       to check for loading in getAllowsChildren too.
