/**
 * Used to display a "Tip" for a Component. Typically components provide api
 * to automate the process of using ToolTips. For example, any Swing component
 * can use the JComponent <code>setToolTipText</code> method to specify the text
 * for a standard tooltip. A component that wants to create a custom ToolTip
 * display can override JComponent's <code>createToolTip</code> method and use
 * a subclass of this class.
 * <p>
 * For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and
 * Feel (L&F) renditions, see the
 * <a href="doc-files/Key-Index.html#JToolTip">JToolTip</a> key assignments.
 * <p>
 * See <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ui/swing/tooltip.html">How to Use Tool Tips</a>
 * in <a href="http://java.sun.com/Series/Tutorial/index.html"><em>The Java Tutorial</em></a>
 * for further documentation.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * 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.  A future release of Swing will provide support for
 * long term persistence.
