Hello
can I have popup window when mouse over a row in a JTable (if users move the mouse over a row for some seconds). This popup will show some content of the row (as a tool tip for button).
Thanks for any help

here's a thread about mouseover in jtable with popup.

Sure you can. It's a JToolTip. Check the API to know how to use it.
There's also a Popup class (I don't know much about it) that lets you do more complicated things, I think.
Read the JTable API and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables" which explains how to use a tool tip on a table.

They say the past comes back to haunt you, but I never knew it would be this scarry. That was really some silly code I posted in the reply to OP's question in that thread. I thank God I'm now a slightly better coder than I was in 2006.
The MouseListener should be added to the CellRenderer, it should be added to the JTable, JList or whatever component you need to listener for events.

I think you meant to say:
The MouseListener should not be added to the CellRenderer, it should be added to the JTable, JList or whatever...

EXACTLY. Thanks for the typo correction.
