I working on Windows XP platform, and I am able to get the popup for this JTree.
From api doc java:

public boolean isPopupTrigger()
Note: Popup menus are triggered differently on different systems. Therefore, isPopupTrigger should be checked in both mousePressed and mouseReleased for proper cross-platform functionality.

Check Bruce Eckel example
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/CreatingpopupmenuswithSwing.htm
