The splash screen can be created at application startup, before the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) starts. The splash screen is displayed as an undecorated window containing an image. You can use GIF, JPEG, and PNG files for the image. Animation (for GIF) and transparency (for GIF, PNG) are supported. The window is positioned at the center of the screen (the position on multi-monitor systems is not specified - it is platform and implementation dependent). The window is closed automatically as soon as the first window is displayed by Swing/AWT (may be also closed manually using the Java API, see below).

There are two ways to show the native splash screen:

  • If your application is run from the command line or from a shortcut, use the "-splash:" Java application launcher option to show a splash screen.
    For example:
    java -splash:filename.gif Test
    
  • If your application is packaged in a jar file, you can use the "SplashScreen-Image" option in a manifest file to show a splash screen. Place the image in the jar archive and specify the path in the option. The path should not have a leading slash.
    For example, in the manifest.mf file:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: Test
    SplashScreen-Image: filename.gif
    
    The command line interface has higher precedence over the manifest setting.

The SplashScreen class provides the API for controlling the splash screen. This class may be used to close the splash screen, change the splash screen image, get the image position/size and paint in the splash screen. It cannot be used to create the splash screen; you should use the command line or manifest file option for that.

This class cannot be instantiated. Only a single instance of this class can exist, and it may be obtained using the getSplashScreen() static method. In case the splash screen has not been created at application startup via the command line or manifest file option, the getSplashScreen method returns null.

Changes the splash screen image. The new image is loaded from the specified URL; GIF, JPEG and PNG image formats are supported. The method returns after the image has finished loading and the window has been updated. The splash screen window is resized according to the size of the image and is centered on the screen.
Params:
  • imageURL – the non-null URL for the new splash screen image

Returns the bounds of the splash screen window as a Rectangle. This may be useful if, for example, you want to replace the splash screen with your window at the same location.
