I am trying to create a JTree of my own defined objects, rather than
Strings. This in itself is easy:
    child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new MyObject);
    parent.add(child);
However, I would like to see a String attribute of MyObject as the label
for the node in the tree, rather than the MyObject.toString(); of it. Is
there a way to do this?
