Yes, I see that I misread it.  I was incorrectly
thinking that there was a mouse event related
to some popup which your methods weren't receiving.
Got it now.

There are some unknowns here, so I'm going
to do some guessing.

If I browse JFileChooser, I don't find
any reference to "treepath".  Are we dealing
with a Save As dialog of your own crafting?

Also, I notice that you commented out

   jTree1.setSelectionPath(path);

Is that because that didn't select anything,
contrary to what you expected?  If so, that
leads me to think that the tree path which
you get back from the dialog is not filled
with the same node objects as the ones in
the tree you are trying to maintain.  And if
that is the case, my guess is that you
will have to walk the tree, starting at the
root, asking for a child iterator/enumerator
for the node, and asking each node what it's
user object is, and then comparing the value
of importance for a match.

   treepath.getPath()

gives you an array.  You can use that to compare
to each node as you iterate through each level.
