A tip for synching problems

Last Thursday night I put my iPhone in the dock before I went to bed and saw that it started backing-up and synching. When I got up in the morning it was still synching contacts. I watched it for a while and it never completed. I undocked the phone, put it back in and same thing, it would never complete synching contacts. I searched here and saw that some folks were have the same or similar problems. On Sunday I noticed that the synch with MobileMe was spinning and it too never completed. I could not cancel the synch from the pull down menu so I force quitted it from the Activity Viewer. I then restarted the Mac and lo the problem did not reoccur.
So if you are having a synch problem take a look at your MobileMe synch to see if that may be conflicting with the iTunes-iPhone synch.

Hi John,
I am working on development an enterprise application using EJB 3.0 on Weblogic 10.
While developing, I am keeping all my classes (from ejb's as well as web) into APP-INF/classes directory. It is working fine for Web and ejb 2.0 packages, but ejb 3.0 packages, I get the following error when I keep my ejb 3.0 beans classes in APP-INF/classes directory.
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'customer'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
One solution is to keep the classes under customer ejb directory, but I wan tto keep all the classes in APP-INF/classes directory so that when using Eclipse IDE I can output all compiled sources into APP-INF/classes directory.
Has anyone faced this situation? Any suggestions to fix this issue?

Tip for login problems

I've noticed something about the login problems. If you go to the Discussions main page, look for the "Top Users" box under the "Welcome" box. If it is there, you should be able to log in. If you have no "Top Users" box, quit your browser, maybe delete your cookies, and start over.

Thanks for the tip. I noticed the missing "Top Users" box for the first time just now, and it did indeed send me to the "create account" page. I didn't have to quit Firefox, though. I cleared the cache and deleted the Apple cookies, and was able to log in. I could tell it was about to work, because the "Top Users" box had returned.
Regards.

Fix/Tip: for HTLM5 problems on iPad

After the last DPS update many people got problems with HTML contens!
One of my problems with the HTML5 was that the content jumped 1 - 3 secs into a time line, when I tested the file on my iPad. However all my HTML5 files were working perfectly at Safari, Adobe Content Viewer and had untill the last DPS update worked with no problems on my iPad.
Fix:
Make a new Single or Multi Issue with folio builder.
Under the menu "Viewer Details" set Viewer Version to "v15" (v17 is standard).
After this simple procedure all HTML5 contens is working as it should.
"Adobe Viewer" uses the Viewer Version v17 so we just have to wait for Adobe to fix this problem
Good luck
Ronald Kon Nim

Interesting observation and good fix (if you don't need the features vom v17)
Hopefully adobe is aware of the problem.
There is no official bug report form yet.

Can you help me solve ical synch problem going from iPhone to MacBook Air?

My iPhone calendar contains a lot of important meetings. I am about to migrate from my 3GS to iPhone 5 but since I cannot seem to properly synchronize my iCal from my iPhone to to my MacBook Air, i.e. I cannot see any events from my iPhone in my Mac's calendar. I am thus afraid to activate and jump to my iPhone 5, which is collecting dust at this point, because if this calendar fails to reemerge from the "Cloud" I am in deep horsedung.
I have all of the iCloud settings turned on for synching. I have gone to Storage and Backup and hit Synch Now and that update seems to occur via any feedback my iPhone is giving me.
I have a suspicion that since I was forced to create a 2nd account in order to synch "Notes" to the iCloud that such may be causing some of the problems, but honestly, prior to doing that I synched to iCloud so this inability to see my iPhone calendar on my Mac is more longstanding.
I also cannot seemingly log out of iCloud with one ID on my MacBook Air and sign in with another without iCloud telling me that I am going to lose all of my Contacts and previous data that I synched up with the current ID. What's that all about? That does not seem like typically brilliant Apple Design to me. Most of end up with more than one Apple ID, especially since the "Notes" synch forces you to sign up for yet another iCloud ID. I thoroughly researched that problem online at many forums before reluctantly adding another Apple ID.
My environment is MacBook Air OS X 10.7.4 and 3GS with IOS 5 (iPhone 5 with undoubtedly IOS 6 sitting in the hangar)
Thanks for any insight in advance.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

Tips For Solving the Mac OS X Lion Slowness (Lots of Beach Balls)

Hi Folks,
Just a quick list of tips for this issue that some of Mac OS X Lion users face.
The main symptom is that we get the Beach Ball on almost any task, it takes 4, maybe five times more time to do what we need to do. So depending on the schedule, it can drive us crazy. I was facing that, and started to think that Lion was a Windows Vista relative.
Please remind that the tips below involve backing up and restoring your system. If you are not careful, you may lose everything. You are responsible for your acts. Be cautious!
How I solved my issue:
1) Checked for Disk Permissions and the Disk itself:
- Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility:
- Click on your disk, and then VERIFY DISK. If everything is OK, move on. If it is not, REPAIR DISK.
- Now click on VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. If everthing is OK, move. If not, Repair.
This step 1 is to make sure that your slowness is due to something related to the OS itself and not to permissions/disk.
If this solves the slowness, then you are OK. Now further steps are necessary. In my case, this just helped a little bit. The beach-balling reduced by 20% only. Still too slow.
2) Do a full backup of your system.
I used Time Machine. Make sure you have all of your applications closed. So the backup will be full. If you fail to do a good backup, you will lose everything! Make sure you do a good one. Maybe do it twice on 2 different disks! Now you have been warned.
3) Do a Full Restore of your entire system.
Now, get that Install CD that came with your Mac,
- Put it on your drive, shut down your computer.
- While holding the C key, press the start button of your Mac. It will boot using the Install CD that came with your Mac.
To recover your entire system:
Connect your Time Machine backup disk to your computer. If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, make sure the disk has been repaired or replaced.
Insert your Mac OS X Install disk, and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
In the Installer, choose Utilities > Restore System from Backup.
In the Restore Your System dialog, click Continue.
Select your Time Machine backup volume.
Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
4) Remove the CD, and boot.
When I did that, the system came back very fast and responsive. No more beach balls (only on the really-intensive tasks), and everything was back to normal.
5) So, what was it anyways?
Before doing this Backup/Restore, I was getting lots of DISK I/O ERRORS, specially during boot time (you can check that by shutting down your mac, powering it back on and imediatelly pressing Command-V - Verbose Mode).
Sure, the first thing in mind was that I had a faulty hard drive, but I checked it several times for errors (via Disk Utility), and nothing showed up.
So I decided to do a full backup/restore of the system. And it solved it, at least for me.
My config:
MacBook Pro (2009 edition) - 5 GB RAM - 640 GB HD - Mac OS X 10.7
Regards.

Also my mac will not complete my 5 software updates, no idea which software, but it said it could not do it. Also backing up with time machine had failed twice today. Thanks

Calendar - best tips for categories

I'm relatively new to Bberry. Have a Storm2 now. I use Outlook 2007 for my calendar, personal and business. I'm a court reporter and enter in my Outlook calendar the court hearings for 3 or 4 different judges. I use the color categories to easily track which hearing is before which judge. Of course, my personal calendar events are also categorized.
I've come to learn that there's no way to get those categories to sync with my Storm.
So...I'm looking for advice from those of you who also keep busy calendars on your Bberry. What's the best way for me to track these sorts of calendar appointments in Outlook so they'll be more useful to me on my Bberry? I'm sure there are others of you out there who track meetings with different agency groups or something similar to what I encounter. Maybe there's a better way for me to go about using my Outlook calendar that will work seamlessly with my Bberry calendar.
Thanks! I'm hoping I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Tips for beginners that I have taught in the past and from me:
0 - The debugger is your friend. Learn to use it, before you lean any more Java. REALLY!!!
1 - Do NOT use the GUI development tool in your IDE, Code it yourself.
2 - Read the Java Tutorials.
3 - Java arrays begin with index 0.
4 - Do NOT confuse leaning Java with learning to program. They are 2 distinct things.
The language is a tool, but knowing how to program is a skill that will apply to many different tools.
5 - There are more languages than Java, keep in mind each, including Java, were created for different tasks.
6 - Develop your own style.
7 - You are never done learning. NEVER.
8 - Don't be afraid to modify your style, when you see something elegant, adopt it, make it part of your style.
9 - If you're not having fun, you're doing the wrong thing.
10 - Math is a major part of programming: you can never have too many Math skills.
11 - Embrace the Java philosophy... write once, run anywhere a JVM exists.
12 - Dumb code is actually better: don't get overly involved in optimizing your code--write it clean--Java will do the rest.
13 - Learn to use your profiler, for when you really need to see if you can optimize. The problem is usually not where you think.
14 - No matter how good you are, someone is always better and faster--when you encounter them, learn from what they do and use the good parts.
15 - 800 lines of buggy code is not as good as 50 lines of clean, well designed code.
16 - Your teacher is not always right, but they give you the grades.
17 - Your boss may be an idiot, but he had the good sense, or lapse there of, to offer you a job and you accepted. He's your boss now, act like it, and help him look good--you'll go farther with a lot less stress. Also remember you future boss may want to contact him for a reference.

Tip for Bose SoundDock 10 Remote to play Aux input from Logic (or other)

Here is tip for live performance.
If you are using a Bose SoundDock 10 for playback in a live setting (where you want to minimize awkward public HiFi system tweaking) here is a tip.
The Bose SoundDock 10 plays plugged-in iPods (I use a Nano; 4th Generation) AND has a simple auxiliary in 1/8" port. But there is neither a volume nob NOR a volume meter for the Auxiliary signal.
So.. in the process of trying to create a predictable consistent output level
I experiment to see wether I should
a) Count increment clicks from zero,
b) Count increment-hold-seconds from zero,
c) Use the iPod's volume level meter.
Wow! the iPod's level WILL set the auxiliary signal!! Yea!!
Problem: while toggling back and forth between
1) iPod-input to SEE and SET level by sight, and
2) Auxiliary-input to test the level by hearing,
you will inadvertently expose your set-up audience to load, undesired music.
This is because of a limitation of the Bose SoundDock remote control’s toggling behavior. You see, even if you PAUSE the undesired music before toggling from the iPod-input to the Auxiliary-Input, UPON TOGGLING BACK, to the iPod-input the Bose SoundDock remote AUTOMATICALLY DE-pauses. This, then subjects you and your unsuspecting audience to an annoying and distracting snippet of the least objectionable song you can remember to que up!
For that reason I suggest creating in Logic a "Sound of Silence" Song and exporting to iTunes.Thus, no iTunes library (or professional musician's iPod) is complete with out a 3 minutes of silence file for balance, check, and normalizing etc. Don't forget to attach a remember artwork.
You could also you this track on memorial day or at funerals.
Good luck.
See upcoming video of the whole thing at TheEnchantedPiano.net

I greatly enjoyed Philip Norman's Lennon biography. He said Ono changed her mind about endorsing the book because (according to her) Norman "had been 'mean to John.' " Norman does say some candid things about Lennon's behavior as a parent.

Hopefully useful tips for endless processing

I also posted this in reply to another user, but I think it might be useful enough to others that I will post it here so it's not so buried.
I'm just starting, after many, many hours, to see the light at the end of the tunnel with Aperture 3. I think A3 offers some great options, and is a diamond in the rough -- very, very rough, even in v3.0.1.
But I think I have some VERY USEFUL TIPS for you here (again this is after a lot of learning by pain... 4 different attempts to "upgrade" my A2.1.4 library (42K images about 200GB of images).
1st, and possibly most importantly the "SHIFT" key is your friend. You can use it when you restart A3 to stop the endless processing loop that A3 would fall into every time I upgraded or imported my library to A3 (or 3.01). All you need to do is hold down the "SHIFT" key while restarting A3, this should top all previously stuck processing as you upgrade your library. So use this tip after you first upgrade/import your library, if the processing bug hits. Then you have to be patient and go though your library and figure out where the problem files are (Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)
2nd, at this point you will need to systematically go through your library and figure out where the "problem" files are and "fix" them (in my case all of these worked just fine in 2.1.4 - go figure). I would start by generating thumbnails for all of the images in a project, one project at a time (I had 150 some in my library). When you get stuck in the "processing" loop again, you can restart A3 using the "SHIFT" trick, and maybe just try a chunk of images within that same project until you find where things fail again, and until you can get to the offending image (if it's a problem you won't be able to generate a thumbnail for the image -- and A3 will go into endless "processing" mode)
3rd, this sound like a horribly tedious process and it is. But I can offer you some useful tips. In my case, and others as well apparently, a lot of the offending files are 16-bit PSD or TIFF images, especially if they had adjustments applied in A2.1.4. In my case I had fewer than 50 of these, so I exported an original and a jpg for each of these files. I re-imported the jpg and deleted the PSD/TIFF from A3 (I kept the exported original for future use). These files would then generate thumbs without endlessly processing. The other type of file that I ran into problems with were stitched panoramic images (often over 30MP) that I had applied adjustments to in A2.1.4. I simply removed the adjustments and the generated thumbs for them (worked like a charm).
4th, download some good podcast, music or audiobook... this will take a long time.
Cheers, and look me up in FaceBook I started a group called "Apple Please Fix Aperture"

Danny,
Funny you should mention this.... (actually it makes you look a bit like a "schill", even though you are not)... nope, as far as I can tell there is no way to tell which specific images are causing A3 to grind to a halt.
Hence my comment:
"(Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)" and similar previous ones in other posts.
I wonder if Steve, yes that one, knew about this, being the perfectionist he seems to be, if he would have this feature included in Activity Monitor ASAP, or more likely it would have just been fixed by now (more of a "one-button" solution). Anyone have his house #?
In any case, I please let me (us) know if this helps resolve your problems... and consider joining the Facebook group as well and maybe we can hope for a much better 3.x.x version in the very near future.

Best Tips for Java Beginners?

Hello all,
I study at Open United kingdom (Information Technology), and started to study basics of Java.
We use Netbeans, & I wanted to ask experts here what's the best way to develop myself at Java programming?
"Practice, Practice, & Practice...", thats what the material says.. But I need some sources to guide me with simple Java programs to start to practice with...
so please share any tip may be useful to Java beginners from your own experience.
Thanks.

Howto set tool tip for a row in JTable

I want to set a seperate tool tip for each of the rows in JTable. I tried getting cell renderer of all columns in a row and then setting tool tip for them. I expected that setting tool tip for a cell renderer will set tool tip for that cell. Thus setting tool tip for all the cells in a row will indirectly set tool tip for that row. But it does not happen that way. By setting a tool tip for a renderer it will use that tool tip for all those cells which use that renderer.
Is there any problem in my approach or we cannot do this in Java.
regards.

Thanks.You're wellcome.

I just saw this method in JComponent and realized this
solution.
But then thought that for doing this i'll have to
create my JTable class for just overiding one method
thereby increasing one more level of abstraction.Well, you could override the method in an inner class if I understand you correctly in assuming that you don't want to create a JTable as new separate class. You could do this:
JTable yourtable = new JTable() {
public String getToolTipText( MouseEvent e ) {
return getToolTipForRow( rowAtPoint( e.getPoint() ));
// some where else in your class
getToolTipForRow( int row ) {
// determine your tooltip here
}I think this would be a bit nicer and slightly faster approach because as far as I understand the getToolTipText() method is called after a similar MouseEvent for every JComponent i.e. a small pause of cursor movement over the component in question. I admit that I haven't tested either approach myself but noticed that JTable actually overrides the getToolTipText( MouseEvent e) method already. In your code you determine and set the tooltip every time the mouse moves. If you override getToolTipText( MouseEvent e) you have to determine the tooltip text only when the tooltip is actually about to be shown.
