Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:JToolTip [NONE]
- All Implemented Interfaces: ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible
      public class JToolTip
      extends JComponent
      implements Accessible
Used to display a "Tip" for a Component. Typically components provide api to automate the process of using `ToolTip`s. For example, any Swing component can use the `JComponent` `setToolTipText` method to specify the text for a standard tooltip. A component that wants to create a custom `ToolTip` display can override `JComponent`'s `createToolTip` method and use a subclass of this class. See How to Use Tool Tips in The Java Tutorial for further documentation. Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy . Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`. Since: 1.2 See Also: `JComponent.setToolTipText(java.lang.String)`, `JComponent.createToolTip()`
