Re: Is there a startup banner class?

Hello,

I have an application to which I would like to add a startup banner.
Much like other applications that display this banner while performing
a somewhat lenghty (by computing standards) process in the background,
I have the same need.

Is there a class that supplies the panel (banner) and methods to
determine when the background process has completed?

In addition to what Steve has said:

You can simply open a JWindow (or a Window) instance an put an image on it. This would be opened from within your background task and once the task is finished it simply closes the window (this assumes that you have only one background tastk).

Search for "java splash screen" and you'll get loads of examples.

But if you can move to Java 6 then I'd use the features of Java 6.

As an alternative, if you are on Windows you can use e.g. launch4j to create an EXE Wrappe which can also display a splash screen (and even before the JVM starts).
