Best structure for a tree class's children

[ahaupt]

Hi all,

Just a quick one: At the moment I use an ArrayList to store 'n Tree
classes' children.

Is this the best/quickest structure to use? What do you guys use?

Best,
Andre

Maybe I wasn't quite clear enough about the structure of the class. I'm
actually building a tree out of nodes, and at the moment a parent node
stores its direct descendents in a ArrayList.

It depends a lot on what you need to do with the
hierarchy. If you are just displaying it, then this
is fine. If you need to manage drag and drop
and maintaing the new relationships, then use
this type of approach may be better:
