Hi

I have figured how to write a custom Preloader class, for displaying an animated Splash Screen for our application. What I haven't been able to figure out, is how to install the preloader, or at least tell the JavaFX application that it should use mine instead of the default one.

I have seen documentation on how to do this using JNLP and NetBeans but not Eclipse.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

You are talking about the exported application right? You want to export
a WebStart application? In the fxbuild-File you can set the preloader to
be used!

No i meant to launch the app from Eclipse.

Someone here told me that you need to add this VM argument

-Djavafx.preloader=PreLoader

I also discovered you can call launchApplication directly from main() and pass in the preloader

LauncherImpl.launchApplication(MainApp.class, PreLoader.class, args);
