PR-1245 Splash Screens and About Dialogs

Hi all,

As discussed in the splash screen thread and NETBEANS-2455 [1], I 
submitted PR-1245 [2] based on the ASF Identity Guide and the 
contributions by J. Gosling and others. Thank you all for the contributions!

We now render the ${buildnum} (or a shortened version) using an Ant task 
[3]. Also in [3] there's a SVG file that was used to generate the 
template PNGs (also in [3]). Examples of this new "splash-screen" ant 
task in [4], for instance.

I've uploaded a new binary with a TrueType font that we use at build 
time (Montserrat-medium.ttf) but it seems there're problems with 
synchronization that I'm currently tracking.

Feel free to discuss & improve.

Kind regards,
Antonio

Ah, good to know. Possibly a follow up, right? Not sure if the font 
version is exactly the same, but I don't think what'd make a noticeable 
difference. Download size will be bigger, though.

I imagine that'd depend on whether RCP branding specifies SPLASH_WIDTH, 
SPLASH_HEIGHT, SplashRunningTextBounds, SplashProgressBarBounds, etc. 
(as in [1]) or relays on defaults.

IIRC the "Branding Dialog" for RCP apps allows you to fine-tune those 
values, so I imagine most RCP apps will have their own settings for 
those, and won't be affected.

Cheers,
Antonio

Looks great!  And will definitely improve the release process.

One query would be about using OSUOSL for the font file.  Wasn't there
a general principle to move away from there in favour of Maven hosted
artefacts where possible?  This font is available.  Could be a follow
up?

Haven't looked carefully, but is there any impact to follow up on RCP branding?

Best wishes,

Neil
