Ron, look at the javadocs on JTree, DefaultTreeCellRenderer and other 
related.  Also look at the topic in general: 
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html

    I've been able to completely replace the folder images and use my own 
custom images thar are more appropiate for the data I'm displaying with 
the Tree. What you want to do is replace the plain folder image with one 
that has a plus next to it. You can go beyond this using different icons 
for whatever criteria you may define. (This may be overkill for your 
application)

Also take a look at this short tip: 
http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/768051

One final note, I recall reading somewhere that Microsoft own some sort of 
patent on use of plus/minus images for this file-browsing context. Maybe 
others on the list can verify whether this is true or just a hoax/urban 
legend.
