Hello,
is it possible to show something like a splash screen in RAP? With this I
mean a loading screen, like the throbber in the browser (see [1]), that
the user knows, that the program is loading. Because I think (and possibly
much other people, too), that it is kinda annoying to see this white-bluey
background and nothing seems to happen.
I already followed [2], but I get an error, that the alias is unknown or
invalid. Maybe, when this would be functioning, this should be enough,
because the app is fullscreen and without resizeability.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber
[2]
http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#How_can_I_use_an_image_in_th e_branding_body.3F
P.S.:
for [2] my project structure is looking as follows:
[Project Dir]
+-- #JRE System Library#
+-- #Plug-in Dependencies#
+-- src/
+-- META-INF/
+-- theme/
| +-- loading.gif
| +-- ...
+-- plugin.xml
and in the plugin.xml's extension point the base-name has got the value
"theme/loading.gif", anything else is left as the wiki says. Maybe I
missed something, can anybody tell me, please?

The path is bundle-relative. Of course, the folder that contains the
images need to be included in the build.properties for deployment.
Note that the resources are not registered by RAP, but directly by the
equinox registry.

The alias has to start with a slash. I changed the FAQ accordingly.
