Answer 1

For JDK >= 1.6, a slightly different construction is needed:

   loggingList.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {

        @Override
        public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
            // no-op
        }

        @Override
        public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
            JList l = (JList) e.getSource();
            ListModel m = l.getModel();
            int index = l.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
            if (index > -1) {
                l.setToolTipText(m.getElementAt(index).toString());
            }
        }
    });
