The following code is what I have to try to paint a rectangle when ever I hover over a button. This rectangle will show a brief description of what the button will do. I'm doing something similar when pressing the help button and hovering over something a description in a rectangle shows up. But I cannot get the paint method to work. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this.

Code:

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
				//System.out.println("asdf");
				showMessage("Test");
			}
 
			private void showMessage(String string) 
			{ 
				public void paint(Graphics g) 
				{ 
					g.fillRect(25, 20, 20, 20);
					g.drawString("Hello", 25, 20); 
				} 
				//System.out.println(string); 
			}
