The node(s) have not changed locations in the tree or altered their children arrays, but other attributes have changed and may affect presentation. Example: the name of a file has changed, but it is in the same location in the file system.

    `e.path` returns the path the parent of the changed node(s).

    `e.childIndices` returns the index(es) of the changed node(s).

    Specified by:
      `treeNodesChanged` in class `AbstractLayoutCache`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the `TreeModelEvent` of interest

  - ### treeNodesInserted

    public void treeNodesInserted(TreeModelEvent e)
    Invoked after nodes have been inserted into the tree.

    `e.path` returns the parent of the new nodes.

    `e.childIndices` returns the indices of the new nodes in ascending order.

    Specified by:
      `treeNodesInserted` in class `AbstractLayoutCache`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the `TreeModelEvent` of interest

  - ### treeNodesRemoved

    public void treeNodesRemoved(TreeModelEvent e)
    Invoked after nodes have been removed from the tree. Note that if a subtree is removed from the tree, this method may only be invoked once for the root of the removed subtree, not once for each individual set of siblings removed.

    `e.path` returns the former parent of the deleted nodes.

    `e.childIndices` returns the indices the nodes had before they were deleted in ascending order.

    Specified by:
      `treeNodesRemoved` in class `AbstractLayoutCache`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the `TreeModelEvent` of interest

  - ### treeStructureChanged

    public void treeStructureChanged(TreeModelEvent e)
    Invoked after the tree has drastically changed structure from a given node down. If the path returned by `e.getPath` is of length one and the first element does not identify the current root node the first element should become the new root of the tree.

    `e.path` holds the path to the node.

    `e.childIndices` returns `null`.

    Specified by:
      `treeStructureChanged` in class `AbstractLayoutCache`
    Parameters:
      `e` - the `TreeModelEvent` of interest
