Closing a splash screen using mouse click.

Question

When I click the image it does not close the splash screen. What do I fix and why? Thank you.
package splash;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JWindow;
public class SplashWindow2 extends JWindow {
     public SplashWindow2 (String filename, Frame f) {
          super(f);
          try {
               JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(filename));
               jbInit();
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     private void jbInit() throws Exception {
          // Add the mouse listener
          this.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
                         public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                              this_mousePressed(e);
          getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          // Size the image
          pack();
          // Centre the image
          Dimension screenSize =
               Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = l.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width/2 - (labelSize.width/2),
                         screenSize.height/2 - (labelSize.height/2));
          setVisible(true);
     void this_mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
          System.out.println("TESTING");
          setVisible(false);
          dispose();
     JLabel l ;
package splash;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SplashWindow2Test
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Splash Screen Test");
          SplashWindow1 splashWindow = new SplashWindow1("D:\\javatest\\test\\gif\\JSplash.gif", frame);
          splashWindow.show(); // Makes the window visible, brings it in front of other windows
//          frame.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 400);
//          frame.show();
          splashWindow.requestFocus();
}

try this modified code (it works) -
package splash;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JWindow;
public class SplashWindow2 extends JWindow {
public SplashWindow2 (String filename, Frame f) {
super(f);
try {
l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(filename));
jbInit();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
// Add the mouse listener
this.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
this_mousePressed(e);
getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Size the image
pack();
// Centre the image
Dimension screenSize =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension labelSize = l.getPreferredSize();
setLocation(screenSize.width/2 - (labelSize.width/2),
screenSize.height/2 - (labelSize.height/2));
setVisible(true);
void this_mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("TESTING");
setVisible(false);
dispose();
JLabel l ;
package splash;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SplashWindow2Test
public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Splash Screen Test");
SplashWindow2 splashWindow = new SplashWindow2("//D:\\javatest\\test\\gif\\JSplash.gif", frame);
splashWindow.show(); // Makes the window visible, brings it in front of other windows
// frame.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 400);
// frame.show();
splashWindow.requestFocus();
}
