[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] splash duration, progress bars etc in 3.2

[dingfelder <dingfelder_nospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been following a tutorial to make an RCP app using v3.2 and it 
seems to work and launch correctly, and I am now messing with the branding.

I went to the product branding page and defined the info the wizard asks 
for (plugin name that contains the splash.bmp) and I enabled the 
progress bar and progress message, but I have never seen the splash 
screen appear when launching the app from within eclipse or double 
clicking the startup jar.

Reading through the messages here, it became apparent that using 
eclipse.exe to launch the startup.jar would cause the splash to get used.

I think I am missing something here though, as this functionality just 
displays the image and does not take advantage of the progress bar or 
message as defined in the branding page.

Is there something else I need to do to get progress bars etc?  or am I 
stuck with using the nightlabs splash plugin to do this?

I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Cheers,

Ding
