Native LookAndFeel using DefaultTreeCellRenderer
Hi,
when I do the following
jTree = new javax.swing.JTree();
jTree.setCellRenderer(new DefaultTreeCellRenderer());
the tree is no longer rendered using the LAF I've specified. If I omit the setCellRenderer-line (ie. let jtree use the default renderer apparently created in the constructor), everything looks fine. How can I ensure that the cellrenderer renders things using my LAF?

The easy answer is to not set a cell renderer and let the tree use its default as you seem to have discovered anyway. There is no need to set a renderer if you're satisfied with your tree's appearance.
That said, if you're adding complex objects to the nodes of your tree you will have to use a custom renderer (probably, unless your happy with the object's toString()).
The actual appearance of the tree, things like open/closed icons, etc. are driven by the look and feel, but can be modified as well.
Hope that helps
