How to load splash for e(fx)clipse?

I am moving my e4 rcp application( SWT + jface) to pure e(fx)clipse (JavaFX) and I want a splash screen in application with progress bar like eclipse do have.

Can anyone suggest what should i do?

I Checked this answer from tom but I didn't understand where I can load stage in e(fx)clipse application?

[Edit:1] As of now there is not Progress bar support for e(fx)clipse. And This helps to load splash with minimum efforts for novice.

[Edit:2] One more thing i have observed as mentioned in forum. Splash screen is visible at background to application.

Solution

First of all yes OSGi-Application built on e4-JavaFX don't implement the Application class themselves because this needs to be done as part of the OSGi-Lifecycle.

Once you accepted this situation you have multiple choices:

you bring up a kind of splash through the lifecycle hook with the caveat that it gets up after JavaFX and OSGi have been initialized which might take some time
if you are on windows/linux you can still use the equinox hook with the only caveat that we bring this one done very early because we can not bring it down on the JavaFX thread
you adjust the bootstrapping of Equinox-OSGi-Applications and do the launch yourself

If you really want to discuss this stuff in depth than I suggest you post to our forum - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/259/
