Bundled .app Splash Splash Screen invocation?

[niagarasoft20-macosxportdev at yahoo.com]

Ok, after some trial and error testing I found that if I included the ...

<key>JVMOptions</key>
<array>
<string>-splash:splash.gif</string>
</array>

... option and added the splash.gif file to my 'user.home' directory, then the splash.gif would present itself at program launch. This seems strangely arbitrary (bug?).

Is there any way to specify the path of the image to be located in relation to the .app bundle root instead?

Mike
