Because if you change the data that underlies the model without 
notifying the model, then the JTree has no idea what has happened. There 
are various notifications that you can do here. I can point you to the 
online JTree and DefaultTreeModel tutorial sections, or the excellent 
(even if somewhat dated) Geary book on Swing.
