Splash Screen with JAR using NetBeans or Eclipse IDE

How to set Splash screen for JAR file ?. After JDK 1.5.0 the problem of Splash Screen solved bye introducing two ways to display Splash Screen. You can find more about Splash Screen on SUN JAVA SITE.

But here a little guidance.

When you create a JAR file you need to add following line in your Manifest File.

 SplashScreen-Image: filename.gif

In NetBeans or Eclipse you can find Manifest file easily and add above line.

Also need to add filename.gif to your src folder

SRC
 filename.gif (at root of source folder)
 com (package)
  joshi (package in side com)

So, when u jar the Application the gif image will be added as:

JAR
  filename.gif (at root of source folder)
  com (package)
   joshi (package in side com)

Now just run the JAR file and you will get splash Screen.

Thanks & Regards,
