Well, I've not looked at the Eclipse platform OSGi launching code, but
when I export a (feature-based) product, I see the following in the
configuration/config.ini file:
osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/com.<co>.<plugin>
I'm guessing that the OSGi launcher code is looking specifically for a
'splash.bmp' file in the root directory of the plugin specified above.
Just a hunch....

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think that is the case. It seems the RCP
splash screen has to be splash.bmp and BMP files do not support
transparency. So, I've tried to use the spash framework built into Java 6
without using the RCP based splash screen. Again, seems to work fine when
run through Eclipse IDE, but not with my exported product :-(
Just add -splash:c:/tmp/splash.png (path to some PNG or GIF file) to your VM
argument in Run Configuration or your product launching tab. Try it in
Eclipse, then see if you can get it to work when you export the product.
I've had no luck.
