In version 1.3, I had a bmp file that showed as a splash screen for a few seconds when my program started up.
When I went to 2.1, I had the same problem as lionel (above).
There is an additional problem, though. If you do not have any GUI, and you run as a "Windows GUI Application", then the splash screen never goes away.
I have been able to get the splash screen to go away by adding this to my code:
JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setVisible(true); frame.dispose();
But there must be a delay before running this, otherwise the splash disappears too soon (I do not have the "Close splash when first window opens" checked).
So although there is a work-around, I don't think that the spash screen should persist indefinitely for Windows GUI applications that do not need any GUI elements.
