Multi-line tooltips in Java?

by

If you wrap the tooltip in <html> and </html> tags, you can break lines with <br> tags. See https://web.archive.org/web/20060625031340/http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=10653 for examples and discussion. Main take-awy from that discussion: fButton.setToolTipText("<html><font face=\"sansserif\" color=\"green\">first line<br>second line</font></html>");

Or you can use the JMultiLineToolTip class that can be found many places on the net, including
