title: showing Java app splash screen with MANIFEST.MF; is there a way to set minimum on screen time?
body: <p>I have a Java desktop application in a runnable JAR file.  I'm using the MANIFEST.MF file to display a splash screen like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Manifest-Version: 1.0
  Class-Path: .
  Main-Class: MyApp
  SplashScreen-Image: images/splash.gif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works but the splash image is only on screen for a fraction of a second which is too short a time.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to set the minimum display time for the splash screen?  I'd like it to be onscreen for minimum 2 seconds or so. </p>
