Java Forum / General / October 2007Is there a startup banner class in Java?
Hello, I have created a Java application that takes a bit of time to start up. I would like to have a startup banner (panel, whatever) likeI have seen in other applications. Is there some class that handles this specifically - display and pause until background activity is completed - or do I need to create one? Thanks in advance, Todd > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Is there some class that handles this specifically - display and pause > until background activity is completed - or do I need to create one? Version 1.6 JRE includes a "splash screen" facility which can be invoked by a command line option to the java command or by specifying it in your Jar file. I forget the details but I'm sure googling for "java 1.6 splash screen" would get you some relevant results. For older JRE's there are 3rd party classes you may be able to use (chack licensing). One example is SPlashWindow by Werner Randelshofer. Again, google should locate this quite quickly. >> Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > (chack licensing).

Oh!

The swing JFrame supports a "glassPane" that can be used for this purpose. However as many have already noted the newer JRE supports a command line arg of "-splash". -Wayne >I have created a Java application that takes a bit of time to start >up.
