JTree Selection

[Jason Cavett]

It is easy to determine what node has been selected in a JTree, but I
cannot determine when a node is not being selected. For example, if
the user clicks in the white space outside a JTree, every node on the
tree should be deselected. I know the JTree has a clearSelection()
method, but I can't figure out how to determine whether the user
clicked in the white space or on a node.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Who about this: When you click a node usually a propertyChange ist fired. If you monitor the
mouse clicks an no propertyChange is fired doesn't this mean that the user has clicked in the
white space?
