import [packageName.]dlgSplash;

Since you are new to Java, you have to pay special attention
to "packages".  Perhaps the easiest way to figure out the 
name to put in the "import" statement is to open the 
"dlgSplash" file and look at its "package" statement.

Suppose it looks like this 

package myProjects;


Your import statement would read

import myProjects.dlgSplash; // or   

import myProjects.*;


Assuming your project's source path ( File | Project properties... )
is set correctly.  It probably will be if you have allowed JBuilder
to do all the creating of new classes within same project.
