在过去，我只是为此使用了一个嵌套映射。这是我今天用的，它很简单，但它符合我的需要。也许这能帮到另一个人。

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonValue;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.TreeMap;

/**
 * Created by kic on 16.07.15.
 */
public class NestedMap<K, V> {
    private final Map root = new HashMap<>();

    public NestedMap<K, V> put(K key) {
        Object nested = root.get(key);

        if (nested == null || !(nested instanceof NestedMap)) root.put(key, nested = new NestedMap<>());
        return (NestedMap<K, V>) nested;
    }

    public Map.Entry<K,V > put(K key, V value) {
        root.put(key, value);

        return (Map.Entry<K, V>) root.entrySet().stream().filter(e -> ((Map.Entry) e).getKey().equals(key)).findFirst().get();
    }

    public NestedMap<K, V> get(K key) {
        return (NestedMap<K, V>) root.get(key);
    }

    public V getValue(K key) {
        return (V) root.get(key);
    }

    @JsonValue
    public Map getRoot() {
        return root;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        NestedMap<String, Integer> test = new NestedMap<>();
        test.put("a").put("b").put("c", 12);
        Map.Entry<String, Integer> foo = test.put("a").put("b").put("d", 12);
        test.put("b", 14);
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        System.out.println(mapper.writeValueAsString(test));

        foo.setValue(99);
        System.out.println(mapper.writeValueAsString(test));

        System.out.println(test.get("a").get("b").getValue("d"));
    }
}

例如:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;



/**
 * 
 * @author X2
 *
 * @param <T>
 */
public class HisTree<T> 
{
    private Node<T> root;

    public HisTree(T rootData) 
    {
        root = new Node<T>();
        root.setData(rootData);
        root.setChildren(new ArrayList<Node<T>>());
    }

}

class Node<T> 
{

    private T data;
    private Node<T> parent;
    private List<Node<T>> children;

    public T getData() {
        return data;
    }
    public void setData(T data) {
        this.data = data;
    }
    public Node<T> getParent() {
        return parent;
    }
    public void setParent(Node<T> parent) {
        this.parent = parent;
    }
    public List<Node<T>> getChildren() {
        return children;
    }
    public void setChildren(List<Node<T>> children) {
        this.children = children;
    }
}

在这里:

public class Tree<T> {
    private Node<T> root;

    public Tree(T rootData) {
        root = new Node<T>();
        root.data = rootData;
        root.children = new ArrayList<Node<T>>();
    }

    public static class Node<T> {
        private T data;
        private Node<T> parent;
        private List<Node<T>> children;
    }
}

这是一个基本的树结构，可用于String或任何其他对象。实现简单的树来满足您的需要是相当容易的。

您需要添加的只是用于添加、删除、遍历和构造函数的方法。节点是树的基本构建块。

    // TestTree.java
// A simple test to see how we can build a tree and populate it
//
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;

public class TestTree extends JFrame {

  JTree tree;
  DefaultTreeModel treeModel;

  public TestTree( ) {
    super("Tree Test Example");
    setSize(400, 300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  }

  public void init( ) {
    // Build up a bunch of TreeNodes. We use DefaultMutableTreeNode because the
    // DefaultTreeModel can use it to build a complete tree.
    DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Root");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode subroot = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("SubRoot");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode leaf1 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Leaf 1");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode leaf2 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Leaf 2");

    // Build our tree model starting at the root node, and then make a JTree out
    // of it.
    treeModel = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
    tree = new JTree(treeModel);

    // Build the tree up from the nodes we created.
    treeModel.insertNodeInto(subroot, root, 0);
    // Or, more succinctly:
    subroot.add(leaf1);
    root.add(leaf2);

    // Display it.
    getContentPane( ).add(tree, BorderLayout.CENTER);
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    TestTree tt = new TestTree( );
    tt.init( );
    tt.setVisible(true);
  }
}

public abstract class Node {
  List<Node> children;

  public List<Node> getChidren() {
    if (children == null) {
      children = new ArrayList<>();
    }
    return chidren;
  }
}

它非常简单，很容易使用。要使用它，请扩展它:

public class MenuItem extends Node {
  String label;
  String href;
  ...
}

与Gareth的答案相同，请检查DefaultMutableTreeNode。它不是一般的，但在其他方面似乎符合要求。即使它在javax中。swing包，它不依赖于任何AWT或swing类。事实上，源代码实际上有注释// ISSUE:这个类不依赖于AWT中的任何东西——移到java.util?
