Question

In File >> Project Properties >> Application dialog I see a text field labeled Splash Screen that allows you to specify a path to an image that can will be used as the splash screen. So I set an image but it does not work. When I run the project, it does not appear?

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

There are several ways to do it, you can see in more detail in How to Create a Splash Screen (The Java Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Other Swing Features)

• Using java -splash:<file name> <class name>
• Using Main-Class: <class name> and SplashScreen-Image: <image name> in the manifest.mf file

In particular for NetBeans, you can see the following tutorial: Splash Screen Beginner Tutorial – NetBeans Wiki
