hi

i want to use tooltips with a jtable. I have successfully tried with
setToolTipText in the method getTableCellRendererComponent() in the
TableCellRenderer. But on every repaint of the jtable the method
getTableCellRenderer() sets all the tooltip texts. This is bad because
the tooltip gets its text from some objects from a remote server which
is not very fast. So far.
The idea is to use a mouse listener on the jtable. On double-click my
own tooltip should appear.
I tried something like this (no result):

public class mlTable extends MouseAdapter {
   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
     int column = tTable.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());
     int row = tTable.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());

     if(e.getButton()==MouseEvent.BUTTON1 && e.getClickCount()==2) {
         JToolTip tp = new JToolTip;
    tp.setTipText(my_server_object.getText());
    tp.setComponenent( ((myTable)e.getSource()).getComponentAt(
            e.getPoint()) .... );

    tp.setVisible(true);
        }
    }
}

Beside where is the difference between setTipText(String) and
setToolTipText(String) ?

Does my idea work ? Any ideas ?
