This is what I am doing to add tooltips to a JTable's column headers:


messagesTable.getTableHeader().getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setHeaderRender
er(new MyRenderer("Tooltip"));

The MyRenderer class is a subclass of DefaultTableCellRenderer.

1.  This seems terribly twisted for what it achieves.  Am I missing
something basic?

2.  Wouldn't it be simpler if Sun could add a method to AbstractTableModel
called getColumnHeaderToolTip(int col) which would work similar to
getColumnName(int col)?

TIA
George
