Class SplashScreen

java.lang.Object

com.install4j.api.launcher.SplashScreen

public class SplashScreen
extends Object

This class allows you to control the splash screen of an install4j launcher from your Java code.

In order to use this class, please include resource/i4jruntime.jar from your install4j installation into your class path. You do not need to distribute this file along with your application, install4j will do this automatically for you.

To disable the splash screen from the command line on Windows, -J-splash:none can be passed to the launcher executable. Other forms of the -splash argument that work with the standard Java launcher are not supported by install4j launchers.
