public class MTree<O,D extends Distance<D>>
extends AbstractMTree<O,D,MTreeNode<O,D>,MTreeEntry<D>>

MTree is a metrical index structure based on the concepts of the M-Tree. Apart from organizing the objects it also provides several methods to search for certain object in the structure. Persistence is not yet ensured.
