Class JSplashScreen

java.lang.Object
  swingwtx.swing.JSplashScreen

public class JSplashScreen

extends java.lang.Object

In swing, it's a relatively easy process to create a splash screen. Simply override the paintComponent method of the JFrame and don't call the superclass's implementation of paintComponent. Then draw your splash screen on the JFrame. Simple. Unfortunately, SwingWT cannot use the same aproach to splash screens because SwingWT doesn't actually paint the components, it's the native widget set that does that. Because of this, the code that used to work to create a splash screen no longer works (and cannot work). To make up for this, I have created a JSplashScreen component which creates a standard SWT splash screen. Rob: This class isn't really necessary as I've now added support for Java2D to all components/frames so you can now intercept the paint event and draw your own stuff on a frame! I've left this in as it is quite a useful convenience class.
