Interface TreeNode<NODE extends TreeNode<NODE>>

NODE - is the generic type for self-references. Each sub-type of this interface should specialize this type to itself. End-users should use implementations where the generic is finally bound. For generic usage simply use an unbound wildcard ( TreeNode<?> ).

All Superinterfaces:

GenericTreeNode<NODE,NODE>, Node<NODE>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTreeNode, TreeNodeSimple

public interface TreeNode<NODE extends TreeNode<NODE>>
