[jira] Created: (PIVOT-225) Add a "balloon" component

Add a "balloon" component
-------------------------

                 Key: PIVOT-225
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-225
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: wtk
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Greg Brown
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.4


This component would be similar to a tooltip, but would display an arrow pointing to the screen element to which it applies. Like tooltip, it would also extend Window, but would provide a close button rather than auto-hiding when the mouse is moved. Not sure how it would be invoked - we could add a "balloonHelp" property to Component and automatically handle it in ComponentSkin, but it might make more sense to simply require callers to instantiate and manage these.
