      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.6.0_01"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Mnemonics set on JButtons are not displayed in tooltips. In previous versions the tooltip for a component was appended with the accelerator key. For instance, if the mnemonic of a JButton was 'C', and the tooltip text was "Text", the displayed tooltip would read "Text <Alt-C>".

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Run the attached code.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The accelerator key to be displayed in the tooltip.
      ACTUAL -
      The accelerator key was not displayed in the tooltip.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
