In HEAD

In Zest it seems that it is not possible to display tooltips on graph elements.

It can be tested with attached snippet.
-Launch snippet.zest application
-Select a connection between 2 nodes and keep the mouse on it.

expected: "Tooltip" should be displayed but nothing happened

The provided snippet is single sourced, so it can be launched in RCP. In RCP tooltips are displayed as expected

In general, RAP does allow for controls to set a string tooltip, but their display is handled on the client side. So it is theoretically possible to have a string tooltip for a Zest graph node. The fundamental issue with the Zest/GEF port is that RAP does not support mouse move or hover on the server.  The GEF port utilizes canvas objects and therefore does not currently have a custom client-side representation that supports the Zest API for setting an arbitrary figure to be a tooltip.  I can look into making sure the string tooltips work, but figure based tooltips are a bridge too far at this point.

As I understand it, this bug requests a feature that is currently not implemented in the GEF port.
Please note that the GEF port is a prototype, it's not meant to be feature complete.
Setting to enhancement.
