    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected class` | `JTree.AccessibleJTree` This class implements accessibility support for the `JTree` class.
    `protected class` | `JTree.TreeSelectionRedirector` Handles creating a new `TreeSelectionEvent` with the `JTree` as the source and passing it off to all the listeners.

    Methods in javax.swing that return TreeSelectionListener
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `TreeSelectionListener[]` | JTree.`getTreeSelectionListeners()` Returns an array of all the `TreeSelectionListener`s added to this JTree with addTreeSelectionListener().

    Methods in javax.swing with parameters of type TreeSelectionListener
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | JTree.`addTreeSelectionListener(TreeSelectionListener tsl)` Adds a listener for `TreeSelection` events.
    `void` | JTree.EmptySelectionModel.`addTreeSelectionListener(TreeSelectionListener listener)` This is overriden to do nothing; `EmptySelectionModel` does not allow a selection.
    `void` | JTree.`removeTreeSelectionListener(TreeSelectionListener tsl)` Removes a `TreeSelection` listener.
    `void` | JTree.EmptySelectionModel.`removeTreeSelectionListener(TreeSelectionListener listener)` This is overriden to do nothing; `EmptySelectionModel` does not allow a selection.
