Splash screen parameter not working from JNI

I've been trying to get the splash screen to come up from our native launcher which uses JNI invocation to start Java.

Problem is it doesn't seem to work... wondering if this is a bug or a feature, or whether I'm doing something wrong.

I can't post the code because our launcher is huge and involves utility methods. But the parameter I'm adding to the list of options is...

"-splash:" + installdir + "/bin/SplashScreen.png"

I'm incrementing the option count too, in case someone comes up with that idea straight away. :-/

Not really. You can pop it up from the native side by making the DLL calls to splashscreen.dll manually, but it doesn't really solve the problem of the argument not working. :-(

I am also writing a java launcher to launch our java GUIs. I am writing it in C++ and I am trying to make the dll calls to splashscreen.dll manually. Can you either give me some examples or direct me to where I can find them? (I have been through java.c, splashscreen_stubs.c, java_md.c.) I am able to launch the VM and execute classes with and without arguments. But I am having a time trying to resolve this issue. Thanks for any help.
