Description

I've tried to get hold of the SplashScreen that I've defined in my manifest.mf file:

>Manifest-Version: 1.0
>X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
>SplashScreen-Image: com/macad/enbal/resources/welcome.jpg

But once the DesktopApplicationContext takes over, it is impossible to get the SplashScreen (null pointer exception is thrown).

Could you extend the API so that we can show the SplashScreen, and close it once all the init actions have been finished just before we open the application window as the nameless gray pivot window is displayed quite a long time.
