hello,

I am using a JTree with a custom model (tree nodes are domain objects,
not DefaultMutableTreeNodes).

in my TreeCellRenderer's getTreeCellRendererComponent method,
I create a DefaultTreeCellRenderer:

 DefaultTreeCellRenderer TCR = new DefaultTreeCellRenderer();

modify layout properties, add a Tooltip:

 TCR.setToolTipText("hello world");

and pass the arguments to its getTreeCellRendererComponent method:

 return TCR.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected,
                                         expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);

Unfortunately, the tooltips don't show up in the GUI.

Do you have any hints?

Thanks in Advance!
