您可以在java.util.*中使用TreeSet类。它像二叉搜索树一样工作，所以它已经排好序了。TreeSet类实现了Iterable、Collection和Set接口。您可以像使用set一样使用迭代器遍历树。

TreeSet<String> treeSet = new TreeSet<String>();
Iterator<String> it  = treeSet.Iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
...
}

你可以检查，Java文档和其他的。

我写了一个处理通用树的小库。它比秋千轻多了。我也有一个专门的项目。

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;
    }
}

这个呢?

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;

  private T head;

  private ArrayList<Tree<T>> leafs = new ArrayList<Tree<T>>();

  private Tree<T> parent = null;

  private HashMap<T, Tree<T>> locate = new HashMap<T, Tree<T>>();

  public Tree(T head) {

  @Override
  public String toString() {
    return printTree(0);
  }

  private static final int indent = 2;

  private String printTree(int increment) {
    String s = "";
    String inc = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < increment; ++i) {
      inc = inc + " ";
    }
    s = inc + head;
    for (Tree<T> child : leafs) {
      s += "\n" + child.printTree(increment + indent);

public abstract class Node {

  public List<Node> getChidren() {
    if (children == null) {

  }
}

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;
  ...
}

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。
