How can I get the filesystem path for a JTree root node?

Question

I noticed in the following code

DefaultTreeModel treemodel = new DefaultTreeModel();
TreeNode root = treeModel.getRoot();

The problems is that root value is "root" not the path to the file on the file system.

What I would expect is something like "C:\" or "D:\" depending on the tree.

Any one run into this problem?
