e847. Making Tool Tips Remain Visible

By default, a tool tip stays visible for 4 seconds. This example demonstrates how to keep the tool tip showing as long as the cursor is in the component.
    // Get current delay
    int dismissDelay = ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().getDismissDelay();
    
    // Keep the tool tip showing
    dismissDelay = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setDismissDelay(dismissDelay);
