To do a splash screen properly, you want to get it up there very early
on in the load process.  

I know of three ways to accomplish this:

1. use Java Web Start http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javawebstart.html

2. use Jet http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html

3. use a C kicker to display the splash and launch the JVM.

For me splash screens are usually annoying. They force their way to
the front blocking from doing other work while the program loads.
