<Swing Dev> RFR JDK-8232927:ToolTipManager is unable to force heavy weight popups

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

Hi Sergey,

Not exactly, that is support of heavyweight popup in PopupFactory class. 
This is in Tooltipmanager which can utilise PopupFactory Heavyweight 
enhancement but there's no way to create HW popup through TooltipManager 
class which as shown in

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/client/file/f054a3a03050/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/ToolTipManager.java#l338]

can create only LW and MW popup, not HW.

Regards
Prasanta
