When I mouse over a swing component that has a tool text tip it
displays but only for a limited time.  I want it to display for as
long as the mouse is over it.  Can this display time be changed?

Yes it can. Take a look at the ToolTipManager class - and the static 
sharedInstance() method for obtaining the tooltip manager object so that you 
can make those changes. Bear in mind that this will affect *all* tooltips in 
your app - if you need this behaviour change on just one or two components, 
an alternative might be to try and extend JToolTip and override 
JComponent.createToolTip() to return your extended class.
