I'm working on a set of plugins for Eclipse Luna and I would like to customize eclipse splash screen(replace the one on the picture with a custom one).

Default splash screen

I wan't to set custom splash screen when users install my plugins. So far I only found a way by manually changing it in eclipse configurations. Is it possible to do this programatically from a plugin?

    It seems unlikely that a plug-in to an existing product could override the product's splash screen. I think the splash screen is presented before and during the loading of plug-ins. And there could be multiple such plug-ins, all wanting to replace the splash. As you note, you can override it in configuration. For that, see also [How to set SplashScreen in Eclipse?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7533403/) – Andy Thomas Jun 09 '17 at 18:09

    No, a plugin can't change the splash screen. You have to build a new RCP with a new branding. – greg-449 Jun 09 '17 at 19:03

replace the splash.bmp under

{eclipse.dir}/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.3.0.v20130605-2000/

Here the eclipse version is : 4.3.0.v20130605-2000 It may be different for you.

  • Thanks, I already found this way. I was looking for a bit more programmatic solution like to change it with some Java code in my plugin, so when someone installs my plugin the splash screen changes. – Ivan Kulezic Jul 15 '17 at 09:31
  • @IvanKulezic - look at [How to change Eclipse splash with my plugin](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43234135/custom-splash-screen-for-eclipse-plugin-non-rcp/50161000#50161000) – Denis Kalinin May 25 '18 at 10:59
