Problem in displaying splash screen..

Question

Hi..
First of all my apology to repost the question as i was asked to post it here for the answer.I've developed a desktop application which has a splash screen.I'm using netbeans 6.0.Now, i am able to view the splash screen if i 'build' and 'run' the application in the IDE.But when i run the jar file i am not able to see the splash screen.
This is how i've put the splash screen for my application.In project->properties->run->in VM options : splash.gif. Please help to display the splash screen when i run just the jar file.
Thank you

I don't understand what the way you're doing. It's a Netbeans option??
Currently I'm developing a Swing app and I have a splash window. The way I've done it is creating a sublcass of JWindow, adding a panel, a JLabel and setting an icon.
Like this:
public class InitSplash extends JWindow {
     public InitSplash(Frame owner) throws HeadlessException {
          super(owner);
          initGUI();
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          Dimension labelSize = jLabel.getPreferredSize();
          setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2),
                    screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
     private void initGUI() {
          try {
                    this.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(110, 150));
                    this.setLocationByPlatform(true);
                    jPanel1 = new JPanel();
                    getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                    jPanel1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255,255,255));
                    jPanel1.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(0,0,0), 2, false));
                         jLabel = new JLabel();
                         jPanel1.add(jLabel);
                         jLabel
                                   .setIcon(new ImageIcon(
                                             getClass()
                                                       .getClassLoader()
                                                       .getResource(
                                                                 "com/ttt/common/gui/graphics/logo-transparente.gif")));
                         msgLabel = new JLabel();
                         jPanel1.add(msgLabel);
                         msgLabel.setText("Loading...");
                         msgLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma",1,12));
                         msgLabel.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(102, 25));
                         msgLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
               pack();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }Is this what you are trying?
