Does JavaFX support rich text in Tooltips?

swpalmer-JavaNetSep 30 2011 — edited Oct 6 2011
Does JavaFX support rich text in Tooltips? The docs for Tooltip.setFont say:

"The default font to use for text in the Tooltip. *If the Tooltip's text is rich text* then this font may or may not be used depending on the font information embedded in the rich text, but in any case where a default font is required, this font will be used. "

But I don't know how to set rich text. I tried using HTML the same way Swing works with HTML but that didn't work (it just showed the HTML source).

VirtualBox can run VMs created by VMware Workstation or Server.

RHEL/CentOS/OEL:
# sudo yum install qemu

Ubuntu, Debian:
# sudo apt-get install qemu

1. Convert a VMWare Image to VirtualBox Image:
# qemu-img convert vmware.vmdk /tmp/vbox.bin

2. Use VBoxManage to convert image:
# VBoxManage convertdd /tmp/vbox.bin vbox.vdi

- Start Virtual Box
- Goto File > Virtual Disk Manager
- Click Add.  Locate and select the copied .vmdk file. Click OK.
- Create a New VM as usual using the added vmdk file
- Boot the VM


To convert virtualbox image in to vmware image you can use following:

1. Convert .vdi file in to .raw file
# VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw vbox.vdi vbox.raw

2. Convert .raw file into .vmdk
# qemu-img convert -O vmdk vbox.raw test.vmdk

Genius! Thank you Markus!
I've used VMware fusion (which is for mac, as you know it), but will that make any difference from the ones
created by VMware Workstation or Server ?

I do not use WMware Fusion on my Macbook Pro anymore since I needed Firewire support and therefore use rEFlt with native triple boot now.

Q.app, which is Qemu for MacOSX. It can be found here:
http://www.kju-app.org/

Qemu supports the following formats: qcow2 vvfat vpc bochs dmg cloop vmdk qcow host_device raw
# qemu-img.exe convert -O vmdk hdd.vdi hdd.vmdk

VMware provides a tool called VMware Converter. VMware Converter eases interoperability among VMware hosted products (Workstation, VMware Server, VMware Player, and Fusion), VirtualCenter-managed ESX Server 3.x and 2.5.x, and unmanaged ESX Server 3.x.

It's for Windows platform only, but below can be used to convert a Windows system running inside Virtualbox to WMware fusion on Mac.
