If you wrap the tooltip in
<html>and</html>tags, you can break lines with<br>tags. See https://web.archive.org/web/20060625031340/http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=10653 for examples and discussion. Main take-awy from that discussion:fButton.setToolTipText("<html><font face=\"sansserif\" color=\"green\">first line<br>second line</font></html>");Or you can use the JMultiLineToolTip class that can be found many places on the net, including
