JSTree events not firing

Question

I am using jsTree 1.0-rc1 with JQuery 1.12.4.

I am trying to fire events such as: create.jstree, open_node.jstree, and __loaded.jstree but non of it is firing.

I used both 'bind' and 'on' to hook the events to the Jstree but non of it worked.

I did this on document.ready, using code such as:

$("#MainTree").bind("create.jstree", function (event, data) {
    alert("hello");
});


$('#MainTree').on('__loaded.jstree', function (ev, data) {
    debugger;
    var firstNode = $('#MainTree ul li').first();
    $(firstNode).find('.jstree-checkbox').first().remove();
});

Please can you tell if there is anything wrong?
