Java Tree Class

Hi everybody,
I need to implement something, and using an abstract syntax tree seems to be the easiest method. Sadly, I have to do it in Java, and was wondering if there is already a built in Java tree class that I can use for this, or if I have to write my own. I will have to do a lot of transformations on the tree. I would normally use C++ for this kind of work as I already have loads of templates lying around, but I have no option.

Cheers,
Brick

You'll need to write your own Tree, or find an already created package. The core doesn't appear to include a tree. There is a TreeSet and TreeMap, both of which follow an underlying tree model, but when it comes to an ADT where you are doing lots of your own transformations, I think it would just be easier to write your own instead of trying to adapt the currently existing models.
