JDK-6580959 - Tooltip in system tray not wrapped into multiple lines if "\n" is given as part of tooltip text
Description
Step to Reproduce:
--------------------
1) Run the attached program. You will see a Frame on the screen & a tray icon is added to the system tray.
2) Click on the 'Display Message' button. You can see ballon on the TrayIcon. Observe that there should be a tab in the title of the ballon between 'Application' & 'State'. In the same way observe in the message part  "This is a message test" shoud come in the first line & "Ballon can't display Escape character" should come in the second line. But this is not coming as expected. 

This work fine in  window, but fails in solaris & RHEL.
Comments
EVALUATION The same thing is reproducible with Label which is used inside TrayIcon on XAWT. It seems like Graphics.drawString() doesn't support escape characters.
