What I did was to extend JLabel while implementing TreeCellRenderer.
When you override getTreeCellRendererComponent (which you have to when
you implement TreeCellRenderer) you workout what text/icon you want to
have at that node (be it a leaf or a branch) and return this (the
JLabel) for example (which is a part of the code I used)...

  public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object
value, boolean selected, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row,
boolean hasFocus)
  {
    if (dmtn.isRoot())
    {
      this.setIcon((Icon) UIManager.get("FileView.computerIcon"));
    }
    else
    {
      if (dmtn.getParent().equals(dmtn.getRoot()))
      {
        this.setIcon((Icon) UIManager.get("FileView.hardDriveIcon"));
      }
      else
      {
        if (selected)
        {
          this.setIcon((Icon) UIManager.get("Tree.openIcon"));
        }
        else
        {
          this.setIcon((Icon) UIManager.get("Tree.closedIcon"));
        }
      }
    }

// do what ever you need to do before returning.
  return this;
  }
