The technique is the same:  override getToolTipText(MouseEvent) to return 
the appropriate tool tip based on the position specified in the mouse 
event.  To do this, you will have to convert the mouse screen coordinates 
to cell coordinates.  Use the JTable columnAtPoint() and rowAtPoint() 
methods to do the conversion.
