You're asking about TreeStore. Given the work in place for TreeModel and
ListStore, along with the infrastructure behind them, it should be quite
achievable for someone new to contribute the necessary coverage.

The part that makes TreeStore different is that it has methods to insert
a new row as a child of an existing row, or above it, along with methods
to manipulate an existing hierarchy. That's what will need a bit of
attention as compare to ListStore.

If you're interested in doing the work on this one, give me a shout on
#java-gnome once you've read into the guts of our TreeModel bindings and
the Overrides that go with it. You'll also want to get up front and
personal with the GTK API documentation for GtkTreeStore and friends.
