Answer 1

This link explains how to add your screensaver using netbeans -

http://wiki.netbeans.org/Splash_Screen_Beginner_Tutorial .

For Eclipse, just add -splash: path / to / image for VM arguments in the Debug / Run configuration panel.

Answer 2

Yes, the splash screen image should be named splash.bmp, as described here: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Branding/branding-your-application.html . It is expected that the screen saver will be in the same plugin as the product. If this is not true for you, you can make an explicit choice in the configuration.

Short version: replace eclipse-jee-neon-R-win32\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_4.6.3.v20170301-0400\splash.bmp (your path will be very similar, go to it manually).

Long version:

1) Find the config.ini file

Locate the Eclipse configuration file "config.ini" in the following location:

{eclipse.dir}\configuration\config.ini

2) Find "osgi.splashPath"

Open config.ini file, search for "osgi.splashPath" to find out where the Eclipse IDE Screensaver is saved, for example:

osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform

By default, the popup image is saved:

{eclipse.dir}/plugins/org.eclipse.platform folder

3) Find the image "splash.bmp"

Locate the "splash.bmp" image in the following location:

{eclipse.dir}/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.3.200.v200906111540/splash.bmp

( 3.3.200.v200906111540 is the version of Eclipse in this case, it may differ from yours)

4) Replace it

Replace the default "splash.bmp" image with your own (you can back up the original).

5) Made

Restart your Eclipse development environment to see the result!
