Is there any simple way to do this, I did not find it, sorry!   1 - I tryed to overwrite the JList method getToolTipText() but I am missing the position of the mouse so I can't determine which item is under the mouse 2 - I tryed to overwrite the DefaultListCellRenderer method getListCellRendererComponent to has a tooltip to all of the item coponents but they are Component not JComponent so no setTooltipText() method. 3 - I am stuck!   thanks for any advise   a++
