I believe the rule is that the status bar will appear for a heavyweight window displayed in a unsigned applet. It doesn't matter whether the window is a JFrame, a popup window or (IIRC) a tooltip - provided the window is heavyweight. If you don't see the message, your window is a lightweight window or you are running in an open/unsecured environment (e.g. a signed jar, an altered java.policy file, or running as a standalone Java app).
