Hello Ross,
I am really sorry to hear that it is still not working.
I have ran some tests on my end and it looked like everything is working as expected.
Here are the steps that I took:
- installed JRE8
- created a Java Project that displays a splash screen
- when running the application from Eclipse, I have provided the following parameters for the JVM:
Code: Select all
-splash:<path_to_gif> <name_of_class>
- I have then exported the project as a .JAR file
- created a sample Project in AI 17.8 --> everything worked as expected (the splash screen was correctly displayed)
- uninstalled JRE8
- installed AdoptOpenJDK11
https://adoptopenjdk.net/
- retested the above --> everything still worked as expected
- downloaded AI 16.6.1 to test the specific scenario. I have created a new project, added the .JAR, created the java product in
"Java Products" page and pointed to my GIF in the
"Splash Screen" field
- I have then installed the setup and after launching the executable, the splash screen was displayed
With that being said, I'd say this is not a problem regarding Advanced Installer's (16.6.1) support for JRE11.
Could you please take a look over the above steps and let me know if I am missing something?
Also, if possible, could you please create a sample project that reproduces this and forward me the resources (e.g. .AIP file + Eclipse Java Product + .JAR) by e-mail at
support at advancedinstaller dot com?
Best regards,
Catalin
