Question

I have a jface tree without columnviewer support. It has a decorating label provider as i need to decorate the tree items. I cannot use a celllableprovider to do this. I have seen the examples such as http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.snippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippets/viewers/Snippet015CustomTooltipsForTree.java?view=markup but it does not suffice my requirement as i cannot use the celllabelprovider. How do I get tooltips for my tree?
