The HTML support seems to work pretty well for all of my test cases now.
However, the tooltip contents are still cached and not modified when the
underlying component changes the tooltip later on via setToolTipText().

Two more nitpicks:

1) the JDK uses the same font for 'plain' and HTML tooltips, while
   classpath seems to use Courier for HTML. This actually looks better
   for some of my examples, but not for all. I suggest to default
   to Helvetica/Arial/Dialog or whatever the UI uses as its default
   font.

2) The HTML parser seems to suppress extra blank lines via constructs
   like  <html><body>first line<br><br>thrid line<br></body></html>
   or    <html><body><p>first paragraph</p> <p></p><p>third paragraph</p>...

   A paragraph consisting of a single space should not be blank, or should
   it? For a demo, see the Niffler about dialog.
