[recent sources] If there is no "Editors/<mime-type>/Tooltips" folder defined for the currently edited file, the highlights-based tooltips (EditorStyleConstants.Tooltip) do not work. The reason is that method org.netbeans.modules.editor.NbToolTip.getTipAnnotations returns null when the "Tooltips" folder does not exists, and tooltips resolution is then skipped on NbToolTip:229. I am attaching a possible patch.
Created attachment 54563 [details] Possible fix.
