Peter De Bruycker commented on RCP-481:
---------------------------------------

I cannot reproduce this behaviour. What exceptions did you have in your spr=
ing xml configuration?

> Hi,
> I discovered some strange behavior at startup of my application. After th=
e splash screen became visible it suddenly disappeared and I did not see an=
y exception.
> I discovered that the following piece of code was responsible for hiding =
any exceptions:
> Code:
>     public ApplicationLauncher(String startupContextPath, String[] rootCo=
ntextConfigLocations) {
>         .....
>         .....
>         try {
>             setRootApplicationContext(loadRootApplicationContext(rootCont=
extConfigLocations, startupContext));
>             launchMyRichClient();
>         }
>         finally {
>             destroySplashScreen();
>         }
>     }
> I think this code is very wrong, because any exceptions in the try block =
would just be swallowed without showing an exception in your console or log=
 file, so I added a catch block, like this:
> Code:
>     public ApplicationLauncher(String startupContextPath, String[] rootCo=
ntextConfigLocations) {
>         .....
>         .....
>         try {
>             setRootApplicationContext(loadRootApplicationContext(rootCont=
extConfigLocations, startupContext));
>             launchMyRichClient();
>         }
>         catch (Exception e) {
>             logger.error("Application launcher", e);
>         }
>         finally {
>             destroySplashScreen();
>         }
>     }
> After that I discovered I had some exceptions in my spring xml configurat=
ion.
> Maybe a good idea if any of the contributors/submitters would change this=
 in SVN?
> Thanks in advance,
> Theo.
