Add a ToolTip to a cell in a TableView

How do you add a ToolTip to a cell in a TableView?

        TableColumn nameColumn = new TableColumn("Name");
        nameColumn.setCellFactory((cell) -> {
            return new TextFieldTableCell<Student, String>() {

                @Override
                public void updateItem(String string, boolean empty) {
                    super.updateItem(string, empty);
                    if (!empty) {
                        setTooltip(new Tooltip(getTableRow().getItem().getName()));
                    }
                }
            };
        });            
        

Enjoy!
