How do I change JTree default icons?

The program below demonstrate how to change the default icons of a JTree component. We can change tree icons of the component which are the closed icon, the open icon and the leaf icon.

package org.kodejava.swing;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Objects;

public class JTreeChangeIcon extends JFrame {
    public JTreeChangeIcon() throws HeadlessException {
        intializeUI();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new JTreeChangeIcon().setVisible(true));
    }

    private void intializeUI() {
        setSize(500, 500);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Address Book");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode a = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("A");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode b = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("B");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode c = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("C");

        DefaultMutableTreeNode aContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Alice");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode bContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Bob");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode cContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Carol");

        root.add(a);
        root.add(b);
        root.add(c);

        a.add(aContact);
        b.add(bContact);
        c.add(cContact);

        JTree tree = new JTree(root);

        // Change the default JTree icons
        DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer) tree.getCellRenderer();
        Icon closedIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(
                this.getClass().getResource("/images/lightbulb_off.png")));
        Icon openIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(
                this.getClass().getResource("/images/lightbulb.png")));
        Icon leafIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(
                this.getClass().getResource("/images/lightning.png")));
        renderer.setClosedIcon(closedIcon);
        renderer.setOpenIcon(openIcon);
        renderer.setLeafIcon(leafIcon);

        JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(tree);
        pane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));

        getContentPane().add(tree);
    }
}
