ToolTipText of a node(widget) ?

Question

I cannot find a property "toolTipText" to set a tooltip for a node (for example a button):
def stop:Button = Button {
text: "Stop"
// toolTipText does not exist
toolTipText: "Stops the progress"
action: function() {mediaPlayer.stop();}
(Look at [http://www.builderau.com.au/program/java/soa/Introducing-JavaFX-Sun-s-new-family-of-Java-based-products/0,339024620,339286272,00.htm|http://www.builderau.com.au/program/java/soa/Introducing-JavaFX-Sun-s-new-family-of-Java-based-products/0,339024620,339286272,00.htm], there is a property called toolTipText, but I cannot find it in the javafx-api)
Should I build my own tooltip?

Well, as expected (feared!), the article is old, way before the release of the 1.0 version.
Articles before December 2008 (date of first release) have, at best, only historical interest...
So, no, JavaFX doesn't offer tooltips out of the box (yet?).
I made my own class, including management of time out. It isn't that hard. I should revise it, as at the time I haven't found a way to find out the scene of the component owning the tooltip, so I had to insert them manually in the scene: not a big problem but not very elegant. I would also now center the text in the rectangle by using the Stack layout...
[EDIT] Ah, too late! :-) I should have refreshed the question before answering it some hours later... ;-)
