Showing an Image in a Tool Tip

A tool tip can show simple HTML tags when surrounded by the tags <HTML> and </HTML). This example shows how to include an image in a tool tip by using the <IMG> tag. See the javax.swing.text.html.HTML class documentation for a list of other supported tags.
String imageName = "file:image.jpg"; component.setToolTipText("<html>Here is an image <img src="+imageName+"></html>");
