It would be nice to have a tiny main class in front of the current Terasology class that can do jar loading and such from actual library jars within Terasology.jar - currently the lib jars are simply unzipped and placed directly into the jar file

It should also bring up a splash screen while then loading the main game (and should probably land at the game menu, not directly into the world)

Jar-with-jar seems a common issue to solve, one easy example to find is http://one-jar.sourceforge.net - any research implementation of a jar-within-jar setup + splash screen would be handy!

This should work for both the plain application (primary goal) and the applet (maybe not the same approach, but at least it shouldn't break anything)
