I do agree.

Honestly, in my previous company, I use a vertical JSplitPane, the left
hand side is a JTree and right hand side is JPanel.  Tree represents menu
hierarchy.  I will try my best to courage my colleagues to use such
approach.  Thanks for your guidance!

It's okay. I think I can handle it. ^_^ Many thanks!
