Prevent eclipse launcher from showing splash [message #488488]

Hi,

I'm working on an application that the user can start in commandline and
GUI mode. The commandline mode is only a shortcut mode for doing the
standard use cases by providing some arguments without having to start
the GUI. Here its nothing more than configuring and sending a message.

My first stupid attempt results in:

public Object start(IApplicationContext context) {
Map<?, ?> arguments = context.getArguments();
if (arguments.containsKey("application.args")) {
String[] appargs = (String[]) arguments.get("application.args");

[... do something with the arguments ...]

return IApplication.EXIT_OK;
}

Display display = PlatformUI.createDisplay();
[... further common code omitted ...]

But although the user supplies any arguments the splash is always shown.
Ho do I avoid this behavior?

I don't want to provide the commandline-interface as separate jar or
executable because the user should use his well known application-exe.

Thanks in advance

Pass -nosplash to eclipse.exe.

I think thats not what we need. -nosplash hides the splash completely.
But we want to show the splash in gui-mode and hide it, when the user
provides some options to start the commandline mode. Another point is,
that the user needs to know the nosplash option. I think thats not very
convenient for the user.
