Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion. I do not need a progress dialog. I just want to 
use a real simple splash screen to display some text while the java 
application is loading.
I tried JDialog and JWindow; however, I can not get the text to display on 
the contentPane unless I set the setModal to true, which it's kind of 
defeating the purpose.

Once I set the setModal to true, it takes over the current process thread. 
It will not continue until I manuall close the dialog.

Am I missing something here? Please take a look at the following code snip.


thanks,

Tom

code snip:

        String status = "Loading... Please wait...";
        JDialog jwin = new JDialog();
        JPanel jpanel = new JPanel();
        jpanel.add(
            new JLabel("Now Loading...",
                SwingConstants.CENTER));

        jpanel.setVisible(true);
        jwin.getContentPane().add(jpanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);


       //jwin.setModal(true); /* visible only if enabled */
        jwin.setTitle(status);
        jwin.setResizable(false);
        jwin.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
        jwin.setBounds(400, 400, 250, 1

       //Loading application here...
        jwin.setVisible(false);
        jwin.dispose();
