Bug 7022 [Workbench] Splash screen with progress bar
Reported: 2001-12-18 03:50:53 | Status: verified fixed

Many people observe the problem with hanging splash screens. Also, loading Eclipse can take a lot of time depending on the workspace. It would be good have a progress bar to indicate whether it's really hanging or still booting. Of course, some status info should be displayed as well (like which plugin is being loaded, etc.). Please have a look at the Gimp splash screen to see what I mean.
