When calling:

"button.setText("&Hello World");"

the & is filtered out for display, as it marks the mnemonic.
But if you set the same text as tooltip:

"button.setToolTipText("&Hello World");"

the & is displayed.
In SWT (Windows, i couldn't check GTK) method "org.eclipse.swt.widgets.ToolBar.toolTipText(NMTTDISPINFO)" returns the tooltip containing & but Windows filters it out for display
