I tried

String toolTipText = "Line1\nLine2\rLine3<br />";

myJComponent.setToolTipText(toolTipText);

But I only got the single line.

Is possible to have multiple lines in ToolTip?
If yes, how do I set the multiple line mode?

Thank Q very much in advance!

It is possible to do this, since (I think) tool tips are displayed in 
a kind of customised JLabel.
You were fairly close with your first guess - the answer is to format 
your tool-tip text with html.

e.g.
String toolTipText = "<html>Line1<br>Line2<br>Line3</html>";
myJComponent.setToolTipText(toolTipText);

Of course, if you do this then you need to escape any special html 
characters in your text.
For example, if you want to display the text "a < b\n line2" then you 
need:

String toolTipText = "<html>a &lt; b<br> line2</html";

Because of this, some people have written their own classes which you 
can find using google.
One I found is this http://www.codeguru.com/java/articles/122.shtml, 
although I didn't test it.
