Splash screen "disappeared" on Linux

[Fabrizio Giudici]

I just realized that the splash screen of blueMarine has disappeared on Linux, that is the application starts directly with the main window. I have a custom launcher, but it always worked, so I must have broken something in the latest weeks (I've realized the problem just now, but I presume it's something older). It works ok with Mac OS X, so there must be something specific to Linux. Where should I look? Thanks, sorry for the silly question but I need to have a release by Monday! :-)

Hi Fabrizio

I am using Ubuntu daily and develop my software on it, I have never experienced this one. This quite difficult as to say where to start. I can test it my machine and see if is something specific to Linux or just your launcher if you would like.

Thanks

David

It's surely a bug of mine - I mean, if I run the application from the  
development directory with ant run, everything is fine. If I run the  
packaged executable, it's broken. So there's something that I'm doing  
wrong maybe in setting the boot properties. The strange thing is that  
I'm trying the Linux installation on Mac OS X with SoyLatte, and works  
8-O. The only thing I can think of is a thing related to file casing,  
since Linux is the only case-sensitive one, instead of MAc OS X and  
Windows: the splash screen is inside a branding module

and it could be that it's searched as blueMarine? OTOH the icons in  
the frame title are ok, so it shouldn't be. Oh my. If you can give it  
a try, it could be helpful. The latest build is here:

Thanks in advance.

Hi Fabrizio

I have compared your application file structure with mine and it appears that you duplicate core locations. the directory listing once installed is quite confusing. I suspect your problem lies in your packaging.

If you compare it to my application which you can get from http://www.beerfamily.selfip.com/software/softwarepcm.html. When unzipped this looks completely different from yours, you seem to have two folders containing your core modules.

If my application works for you, at least get the splash screen showing then I suspect that netbeans can't find the correct core_bluemarine.jar

Thanks David, I'll check it today. Actually after writing you I e.g. discovered duplicated filesystems modules (strangely Linux gave me a warning, Mac OS X didn't). It's probably also in other stuff, it's some changes I made to the installer I think that introduced this regression.

See you later.
