JListEx adds datatips, heavyweight tooltips and background image.

The zip file contains the following items:

- Source (located in SwingEx dir).
- Javadoc Documentation (located in doc dir).
- Screenshot (located in screenshots dir)
- 2 pictures for testing the background. (image locations are hardcoded in Test.java)

Notes:
- Documentation now contains a workaround (chaning the ToolTipManager.java source) for the bug that doesn't allow heavyweight tooltips using Swing 1.1 & Swing 1.1.1 beta1.

- The datatips now remain visible (dismissDelay in ToolTipManager gets set to Integer.MAX_VALUE when the mouse enters the component, and gets set back to the original value upon mouse exit).

- Background image support is in.

- The ListCellRenderer draws the background when it's selected.
