Set tool tip on an image

Question

hi there,
does anyone know how to set a tool tip on an image?
easy to do that on a button - e.g.,
          dbButton      = new JButton ("", new ImageIcon("images/db.gif"));
          dbButton.setToolTipText("check connection to the database");
but what if i have an image such as:
          DefaultEditorKit.CutAction cutImage = new DefaultEditorKit.CutAction();
          cutImage.putValue( Action.NAME, "Cut" );
          cutImage.putValue( Action.MNEMONIC_KEY, new Integer(KeyEvent.VK_T) );
          cutImage.putValue( Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK) );
          cutImage.putValue( Action.SMALL_ICON, new ImageIcon("images/Cut.gif") );
anyone?

The code you posted here is not the same as the code I gave you in your previous post. Before you remove lines of code you should understand what they do. One line you removed is important, the other isn't. Read the Action API for more information.
Also, there is no reason you can't do:
cut = new JButton(Action);
cut.setToolTipText("Cut");
