We already created Eclipse bundle and used it in RCP app. Now we add splash screen to the RCP app.

  1. Download or create some bmp-file with bit depth 8 or 24 (not 32). Name it "splash.bmp".

  2. Create folder "tutorials/MyRcpApp/src/main/resources", copy splash file into it.

  3. Invoke on command line in "tutorials" folder:

gradle build

Note that you don't have to configure splash screen in configuration files - wuff does this for you automatically.

  1. Run the compiled product from command line. The program shows splash screen while starting:

RcpApp-5-run-1

As soon as main window is shown, splash screen disappears and default perspective is shown:

RcpApp-5-run-2

When you click on "Show dialog" button, the program shows message dialog:

RcpApp-5-run-3

The example code for this page: tutorialExamples/RcpApp-5.
