I would like to use a variable in tool tip text such as:
jLabelROI2.setToolTipText("hello"+labelName.getText());

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks.

Override the "getToolTipText()" method to capture
info from your variable.  Or add some kind of
listener (change listener, or something) to the
label which responds to changes by taking the
value handed it to update the tooltip.  You may
have to use your imagination on how to do the
latter.
