Best way to stop tooltips disappearing in JFreeChart

I noticed that if I hover over my graphs it shows the tooltips like expected, but after a certain time they disappear. Now I managed to get around this problem by using setDismissDelay of the ChartPanel and setting it to a very high number, but this doesn't look like best practise.

Is there a better way to do this, maybe disable the method that hides the tooltip?

Instead of altering the tooltip parameters, add a ChartMouseListener that updates an adjacent component in its chartMouseMoved() handler. You can display the same data as the tooltip generator, and it won't change until the mouse moves. There's a related example here.
