How do i add a tooltip to existing gwt Textbox?

my application is using eclipse with gwt plugin included. Currently it has a simple textbox without tool tip functionality.

Do i have to import a plugin of j query or java script file? If yes provide the procedure

or How can i make a customized text box using all this?

i tried using Qtip but did not succeed as i am quite new to javascript,css and html

For a nice tooltip (other than the HTML default) you can use a composite widget. You'll find examples with GWT-Bootstrap and plain GWT at this post.

You can do this easily in GWT - use the setTitle() method:

textBox.setTitle("Tooltip text");

This method is available on any UIObject - no point introducing external JS libraries when you don't have to. (You can mix them with GWT, but it gets quite complicated quite quickly!)
