1. The dotted hierarchy lines are not images.  They are drawn
    by the tree control.  

2. This is a problem which was reported, hmmm, about a year and
    a half ago (by me).

3. There is no fix for it that I know of, unless it was fixed in the 
    maintenance of the JBCL code done for JBuilder 3.

4. If you have Pro or C/S, you have the source code and are welcome
    to track down the problem (not worth it ... why?)

5. It's not worth it.  Our product has been out for, what, a year, and 
    no one seems to have noticed the missing dotted lines.  Like you,
    I was alarmed when I finally deployed the application for initial 
    QA testing, and saw no dotted lines!  Yikes, this is a big problem, 
    I thought.  Well, a very astute QA guy caught it, but agreed that
    there wasn't much we could do.  And after some 60,000 copies
    of the CD have been used by students, it appears that learning
    how to identify bacteria is more important than reporting missing
    dotted lines.

Go figure!
