Taking tar -tf output and putting it into a java jtree

I want to take the output of a tar -tf which is a long directory listing for linux filesystem and put it into a java jtree.

The problem I am running into is how to get the hierarchy correct. The root node is easy but how do I add the other nodes to the tree in the proper place? I believe it would involve finding the parent node in the tree.

So far I am using DefaultMutableTreeNode as the root and creating a new one for each node. I created a custom object overriding toString to give the name of the directory or file, a getPath that returns the full path to it and getParent which is the full path without the name on the end.

The article Understanding the TreeModel may offer some guidance on modeling hierarchical files in a TreeModel suitable for use with JTree.
