title: Debug SplashScreen from Eclipse without generating the Jar
body: <p>I have search all over the web but could not find answer to this question:</p>
  
  <p>I need to debug the functioning of an application that changes the SplashScreen based on the module you are accessing.</p>
  
  <p>I do know that the code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>SplashScreen splash = SplashScreen.getSplashScreen();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can be used to get the instance when you pass either:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Splash from command line: java -splash:path/image.gif ClassFile</li>
  <li>Splash image in manifest: splashscreen-image: img/SplashNomina.gif</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Still when I tried to run the application by passing the -splash value from VM args in Eclipse it did not work.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it actually possible as SplashScreen.getSplashScreen() is always NULL.
  I have been trying passing without success:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>-splash:image.gif</li>
  <li>-Dsplash=image.gif</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Right now I see lots of limitations in this Splash api, as it is always required to have a parameter being passed. I think it would be much more flexible to be able to just pass the parameter at runtime :(</p>
  
  <p>Any help woult be really appreciated!</p>
