Which component do I have to use for a mouse-tooltip

Hi!

I want to open a small tooltip at the mouse position, just like a button tooltip. The tooltip should follow the mouse pointer and display the mouse position coordinates.

publicvoid mouseMoved(MouseEvent e){

if (mouseTip ==null){

mouseTip =new JFrame();

mouseTip.setSize(20, 20);

mouseTip.setLocation(e.getX(),e.getY());

mouseTip.setVisible(true);

...

Principally it works, but the Frame is too heavy. Which component is used for the classic button-tooltip and how can I use it?

Thanks in advance
