How to get text to be displayed when the mouse hovers over a JCheckBox

Hi

I would like some text to be displayed each time the mouse hovers over a JCheckBox. This text would be different for each JCheckBox.

I can't seem to find a JCheckBox method that does this.

I'd like to know whether or not there's a way to do this without using a mouse listener or anything like that please.

Thank you in advance

Do you mean like a tool tip? Search the API for the method "setToolTipText(String text)".
