Sorry about that - I could have sworn it didn't.  Anyway - try this:

Here is an example using a 'SplashScreen' object:

  public Application1() {

   SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();
   splash.pack();
   splash.setVisible(true);

   // Assume the Frame is doing work, that takes time.  Otherwise you 
   // could use Thread.sleep() for a delay

    Frame1 frame = new Frame1();
    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);

    // Turn off the splash screen
    splash.setVisible(false);
  }


And here is the object.  I hard-coded the image, which you obviously 
wouldn't want to do...

package TestDB;
import borland.jbcl.layout.*;
import borland.jbcl.control.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class SplashScreen extends Window {
  ImageControl imageControl1 = new ImageControl();
   BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();

  public SplashScreen() {
    super( new Frame() );
    try {
      jbInit();
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  /**
   * Method generated and maintained by JBuilder designer to initialize
   * control properties.
   */
  private void jbInit() throws Exception{
    this.setSize(new Dimension(200, 250));
    this.setVisible(false);
    imageControl1.setAlignment(borland.jbcl.util.Alignment.CENTER | 
borland.jbcl.util.Alignment.MIDDLE);
      imageControl1.setImageName("D:\\JBuilder\\samples\\borland\\referen
ce\\cliffhanger\\graphics\\logo.gif");
    this.setLayout(borderLayout1);
    this.add(imageControl1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Dimension frameSize = this.getSize();
    if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
      frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
    if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
      frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
    this.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, 
(screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);

  }
}
