title: How to modify the clip string ellipses used by Swing when laying out text components
body: <p>By default Swing uses ellipses "..." to indicate that text has been truncated in JLabel and similar text based components. Is it possible to change this behavior to use a different character string, for example ">"?</p>
  
  <p>Looking through the Swing code I found in SwingUtilities2 a method called clipString(...) which appears to hardcode the string to be "...". </p>
