Use case - BPEL elements contain long names. The Diagram view cannot always show the full name ecause of horizontal constraints. The name is truncated. User wishes to see the full name. Today - user can only see full name by DBL-CLK in name field on diagram, or looking at Name property in property sheet (even there it may be truncated and user will have to bring up the customizer to see full name). Recommendation - add tooltip for each Diagram element. The tooltip can show the full name.
There is an issue / problem. Diagram is tree, and Tooltip is provide by swing API. Once tooltip is activated, it remains active for the entire tree. So once tooltip is active on diagram it will remain active as user moves mouse until user does something else besides moving mouse. IF this is acceptable, then the feature is implemented. We do not currently have any way to override this default behavior of swing.
Checked in branch release551. Tooltip templeate: <Element name> [<Bpel element type>]
Verified all BPEL elements in bpel diagram contain tooltips.
