🚀 go-pugleaf

I havent done this myself but I found this message on the advanced swing
forum that may be of interest.

"You can use the following code after creating a tree
        ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(myTree);
This will use the text property of each component of the tree as tooltips.
If you want to customize that then
you have to subclass the CellRenderer for the tree and use setToolTipText
method to set text of you choice. Of course to get different text you will
attach a object with each componet of tree which will hold the tooltips I
believe."

Thanks to Dhiman Biswas for the above extract.
