Implement a TreeSelectionListener and add it using addTreeSelectionListener.

Main.java:

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class Main extends JFrame
{
   public Main() {
      DefaultMutableTreeNode root = createNodes();
      JTree tree = new JTree(root);
 
      tree.addTreeSelectionListener(new TreeSelectionListener() {
         public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e) {         
            TreePath path = e.getPath();
            System.out.println(path.getLastPathComponent());     
         }
      });
 
      getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(tree));
 
      addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
         public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
            System.exit(0);
         }
      });
   }
 
   public static DefaultMutableTreeNode createNodes() {
      DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Java");
      
      DefaultMutableTreeNode j2se = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("J2SE");
      DefaultMutableTreeNode j2ee = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("J2EE");
      DefaultMutableTreeNode j2me = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("J2ME");
 
      j2se.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode("http://java.sun.com/j2se/"));
      j2ee.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode("http://java.sun.com/j2ee/"));
      j2me.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode("http://java.sun.com/j2me/"));
 
      root.add(j2se);
      root.add(j2ee);
      root.add(j2me);
 
      return root;
   }
 
   public static void main(String []args) {
      Main main = new Main();
      main.setSize(400, 400);
      main.setVisible(true);
   }
}
