title: Animated Splash Screen on Netbeans Platform app
body: <p>Our maven/Netbeans platform application uses a custom image on startup, by replacing</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Nbm-branding > core.jar > org.netbeans.core.startup > splash.gif</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried making it an animated .gif, but only the first frame is displayed.</p>
  
  <p>How would one possibly go about implementing an animated splash screen, maybe by running some JavaFX window animations? </p>
  
  <p>I've seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4977918/how-does-netbeans-splash-screen-feature-work">another other SO question</a>, but it wasn't really answered - please notice I'm asking about <em>how to integrate a custom splash screen with my Netbeans Platform application</em>, and not how to actually build it.</p>
