What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should see the tooltip matching the button I'm hovering. Instead I get an 
Exception.
This problem is not limited to the title bar buttons. I get Exceptions all over 
the place in my application for JScrollBar being cast as JMenuItem, RootPane 
has JToolTip and many more. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
JRE version?
Tested on Windows 7 using jdk8.0_20 and jdk8.0_25. No problem with jdk8.0_11

Please provide any additional information below.

Yes, it doesn't work as expected. I'm having the same issue. On jdk8.0_25. Also 
it't doesn't support the SWingX components. Please, fix it.

Same problem here... that look and feel looks great but I can't make it work 
without having one hundred exceptions thrown. What a pity!
