  • You mean something like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23001292/animated-gif-leads-to-splashscreen-being-null/23001820#23001820)? Be careful which GIFs you use ;). And [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15964323/how-do-i-use-splashscreen-without-throwing-a-nullpointerexception/15964345#15964345) might help – MadProgrammer May 12 '15 at 06:33
  • yes it is related to my Question I can't understand optimized gif and simple gif @MadProgrammer – fzprog May 12 '15 at 06:42
  • An optimised gif is one which creates a series of small images which, when put together, represent the differences between each frame (each frame is added to the last), where as an unoptimised gif is one where each frame is a completely new image (it fully replaces the last frame) – MadProgrammer May 12 '15 at 06:44
  • ok now I try to make (unoptimized gif) hope it works for me then I tell you.. – fzprog May 12 '15 at 06:48
  • You want an unoptimised gif ;) – MadProgrammer May 12 '15 at 06:48
  • I say (think) some thing wrong ?? @MadProgrammer – fzprog May 12 '15 at 06:51
  • I read your previous comment as "make optimized gif" ;) – MadProgrammer May 12 '15 at 06:53

I think you'll find that the problem comes down to two things... 1.Using the command line parameter (-splash), Java expects the image to be a file on the file system, whereas the manifest file expects it to be an embedded resource. 2.Java doesn't seem capable of playing optimised gifs, that is gifs whose frames represent the difference between the last and current frame, instead of a complete image (as far as the splash screen goes).

I tried using

and

The first image failed, but the second worked, the difference, as near as I can tell, is the first is optimized and the second is not...
