Maybe I misunderstood the question but to my opinion the real question is
whether the new java packager has to provide the support for a splash screen
or not. This has nothing to do with the question whether applications should
have a splash screen or not because if we find that todays Java is fast
enough
to display a simple window in less than a second or so, then the Java GUI
(Swing or JavaFX) could provide a splash screen itself. There is then no
need
for an additional mechanism provided my the packager.

Hi,
I agree with Johan and others, a splash screen is valuable and needed.
Microsoft applications that run on Windows itself (think Word, Excel, etc),
they have a splash screen, Intelllij has a splash screen (it's swing based
AFAIK), etc.. If a Microsoft application running on its own operating
system needs a splash screen then chances are pretty high that there will
be Java apps that'll need a splash screen.
Cheers,
