Try this...(with JBuilder 3, run the package migration on the 
splashscreen class)
----
public class Application1 
{
  boolean packFrame = false;
                    
  //Construct the application
  public Application1() 
  {
                    
    SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();
    splash.pack();
    splash.setVisible(true);
                    
    Frame1 frame = new Frame1();
    //Validate frames that have preset sizes
    //Pack frames that have useful preferred size info, 
    // e.g. from their layout
    if (packFrame)
       frame.pack();
    else
       frame.validate();
    //Center the window
    Dimension screenSize = 
      Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();     
    Dimension frameSize = frame.getSize();
    if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
      frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
    if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
      frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
    frame.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2,
                      (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    splash.setVisible(false);
  }
                     
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
     try  
     {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
          new com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel());

     catch (Exception e)

     new Application1();
