Yes, my only comment was that if we can get a window up using standard Java GUI frameworks fast enough, then the complexity of adding splashscreen support to the launcher isn't justified. Mario's example shows that is it 1-2 seconds to get a window up. That is a bit high. If it was under 1s then I would suggest not bothering, it isn't, so keep it on the list of desired features.
