Well, I was able to figure out a no-text version, but thank you.
Java has a feature which displays a splash screen from a MANIFEST.MF
attribute. We are actually using that, that's why our slash.png shall be
renamed to gif. That feature is not really maintained/needed any more.
E.g.: AFAIK, On Mac that is the reason why a gray rectangle appears
before the Splash screen.
By removing the static image splash screen (we are updating that later
anyway), and creating our own splash, we can do better things with it,
like HiDPI Splash, etc., Java Starts much faster now that Java 6 when
this splash screen feature was introduced. The machines we are using got
faster as well.
But do not go that far, let's find out what can I do with the no text
splash screen...

Hi,
Yep, the SVG downloads the font from the inlined CSS from Google
Fonts, so I imagine this will have issues in command line tools but
not on browsers.
For command line tools I imagine one would have to download the font
and install it locally somewhere so imagemagick or others can find it.
Anyway the SVG was a quick & dirty example that we can hack away. We
could remove the text, for example, and keep only the background
stuff and the logo. And then print-out the text with imagemagick (+1
dependency) or ideally with swing (+0 dependencies).
I'll give some more hacking to it :-)
Cheers,
Antonio

I was happy too early.
It seems only Firefox/Chrome could correctly render that SVG,
command line converters I've tried: imagemagic, inkscape and
librsvg-bin had issues.
So I go back to my original plan get the empty splash (from firefox
I can make one) and try to draw something on that with Java later.

I love the svg!
Now we just need to agree on the design. I like both version, but
don't forget the progress bar an the status texts as well.
Till then, I'm going to make some experiment generating the splash
on build time from the svg.

Here's a splash image in plain text.
Updating the release number is a piece of cake :-)

Dear all,
We need Splash Screens for the Development Version to our master
branch. It looks quite stupid to see the dev version showing a 10
version on splash even after the 11.0 got released.
Also we need the know-how to be public how to generate the splash
screen image. A simple Splash Screen background image would be
good as well!
Thank you in advance!
