How can I implement a "tooltip"?

I'm looking for a method (if one of them exists) so that I can implement a tooltip text; I mean when you put the mouse over a point on the screen for a few consecutive seconds, a text message appears on the screen, showing some helpful information about that issue. Something like toolTipText in Visual Basic.
Any ideas?

Hi-
Use the setToolTipText(String s) of the JComponent Class.
