Check whether a node is a root node or not in JTree

To check whether a node is a root node or not, use the isRoot() method. This returns a boolean value. TRUE if the node is a root node, else FALSE is returned. For example, TRUE is returned since the following node is a root node −

node.isRoot()

Another example, FALSE is returned since the following node isn’t a root node −

node2.isRoot()

The following is an example to check whether a node is a root node or not −
