You can make up a JWindow and add a label with your text to it. Set the background of the JWindows contentPane to
UIManager.getColor("ToolTip.background").
Add a FocusListener to the textField. On focusGained you can set the location of the tooltip relative to the textField with
Point p = ((JTextField)e.getSource()).getLocation();
from inside the method. Show the JWindow. Set it not-visible in focusLost.
