Splash screen in efxclipse ? [message #1460414]

Hello,

I was wondering if splashscreens are supported in efxclipse ? I can't get it to work. This is what I already did :

I added a splash.bmp at the root folder of my app-plugin
I referenced the location of the splash screen in the production configuration editor
and finally, I removed the -nosplash argument

Something else left to do ... ?

there are multiple threads already in this forum on this very topic and
no real cross-platform solution has been found.

Our product-Definition does not generate a launcher because this will
fail on os-x because the event queue is occupied already and javafx will
not launch, we don't start on the primary thread because of
junit-testing with jemmy (we might revisit this constraint once we work
on TestFX integration) so on *ALL* platforms you won't be able to hide
the splash with the default program setup.

My hope was that the javafx-launcher people are providing us
splash-screen features and at JavaOne we discussed the current state but
before java9 (it's not even sure for 9!) we won't see any support.

Please attach yourself to the following JavaFX-JIRA -
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-22961 and vote for it.

I fully understand that something like a splash is a MUST for a
professional application and it should have been available since day 1
of the javafx packager toolsuite and this one of few areas where
e4+JavaFX falls short compared to e4+SWT.

We could try to work from the code in the Eclipse-Launcher to see how we
could add splash stuff without the problems mentioned
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=418399 but this is a major
piece of work not on our list unless funded externally!
