The setToolTipText(String) method for JFileChooser only sets the tool tip
for parts of the component. When the cursor is over the list of files or
the pull-down directory list (where it spends most of its time!) no tip
gets displayed.

package Junk;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ToolTip {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(args[0]);
jfc.setToolTipText(args[1]);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Look for the tool tip.");
frame.getContentPane().add(jfc, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setSize(frame.getPreferredSize());
frame.setVisible(true);
    } //Ends method main

} //Ends class ToolTip
