Hello,
The code is too big to post, I am adding the code that is required to get changed, please see it
          open2 = new JButton(new ImageIcon("images/open.gif"));
               open2.setToolTipText("Open");
               open2.addActionListener(this);
               open2.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
                    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me)
                         status.setText("Opens a file");
                    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me)
                         status.setText("open");
Thanks
