public class SplashScreenWindow

extends javax.swing.JWindow

A main window which displays an image such as an application startup splash screen.

Several flavors of static convenience openOn methods are provided to simplify the standard case of displaying a splash screen image centered on the desktop screen region. The client is responsible for arranging to close the splash screen, since there is no provision (or desire) for the user to do so.
