/**
* This interface represents the current state of the selection for
* the tree component.
* For information and examples of using tree selection models,
* see <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html">How to Use Trees</a>
* in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
*
* <p>
* The state of the tree selection is characterized by
* a set of TreePaths, and optionally a set of integers. The mapping
* from TreePath to integer is done by way of an instance of RowMapper.
* It is not necessary for a TreeSelectionModel to have a RowMapper to
* correctly operate, but without a RowMapper <code>getSelectionRows</code>
* will return null.
*
* <p>
*
* A TreeSelectionModel can be configured to allow only one
* path (<code>SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION</code>) a number of
* continguous paths (<code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code>) or a number of
* discontiguous paths (<code>DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code>).
* A <code>RowMapper</code> is used to determine if TreePaths are
* contiguous.
* In the absence of a RowMapper <code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> and
* <code>DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> behave the same, that is they
* allow any number of paths to be contained in the TreeSelectionModel.
*
* <p>
*
* For a selection model of <code>CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION</code> any
* time the paths are changed (<code>setSelectionPath</code>,
* <code>addSelectionPath</code> ...) the TreePaths are again checked to
* make they are contiguous. A check of the TreePaths can also be forced
* by invoking <code>resetRowSelection</code>. How a set of discontiguous
* TreePaths is mapped to a contiguous set is left to implementors of
* this interface to enforce a particular policy.
*
* <p>
*
* Implementations should combine duplicate TreePaths that are
* added to the selection. For example, the following code
* <pre>
* TreePath[] paths = new TreePath[] { treePath, treePath };
* treeSelectionModel.setSelectionPaths(paths);
* </pre>
* should result in only one path being selected:
* <code>treePath</code>, and
* not two copies of <code>treePath</code>.
*
* <p>
*
* The lead TreePath is the last path that was added (or set). The lead
* row is then the row that corresponds to the TreePath as determined
* from the RowMapper.
