* Used to display a "Tip" for a Component. Typically components provide api
* to automate the process of using <code>ToolTip</code>s.
* For example, any Swing component can use the <code>JComponent</code>
* <code>setToolTipText</code> method to specify the text
* for a standard tooltip. A component that wants to create a custom
* <code>ToolTip</code>
* display can override <code>JComponent</code>'s <code>createToolTip</code>
* method and use a subclass of this class.
* <p>
* See <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tooltip.html">How to Use Tool Tips</a>
* in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>
* for further documentation.

* Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
