    Default how to create resizable tooltip?

    Hello,

    Can anyone help me, how to create a tooltip similar to the one shown in Eclipse IDE when you hover your mouse to any Java element? That is, I want the tooltip to be resizable. I am using jface tooltip but I can't see any methods/ways to set the tooltip to be resizable.

    Thanks

    You'll probably have to create your own component using the layered pane. It's not as hard as it sounds.

    Or you could use a library that does that for you, such as: Balloon tip - Project home page — Java.net
