Forum: JRuby splash screen

I noticed that just loading the jruby jar takes a tidge...like 1s.
Maybe jruby could have an optional "display this splash screen image"
command line option?

Cheers!

I see that this is possible, to have a splash screen:

$ java -splash:audio.jpg -jar jruby-complete-1.6.4.jar -e "puts "

however this doesn't work:

$ jruby -Jsplash:audio.jpg -e 'puts'
Unrecognized option: splash:audio.jpg
JVM creation failed

is this a bug?

Did you miss '-' between 'J' and 's'?

That's what I was thinking, but I tried it out and it doesn't work 
either.

Well, if that's not working, please open a ticket.

Thanks.

Hi Roger!

Just tried

jruby -J-splash:image.png -e "puts "

and it worked fine.  We have used this in production for 4 years now.

What environment are you working in? (jruby -v)?

appears that it's a "windows special" and works in other OS's, windows
