Loading times are increasing as the XML files we work with become bloated. As a result, the RT is taking longer and longer to load: the user double-clicks the jar and sees nothing for 20-30 seconds even when there are no other processes hogging the CPU. We want a splash screen to indicate to the user that the RT is parsing the XML document.

Also consider the oxygen and netbeans splashscreens for inspiration

When creating the splachscreen consider using this image:

\trunk\RTClient\src\org\mitre\rt\client\resources\logo.about.jpg

Ideally the splashscreen will display the image and then have a progress indicator of some sort with a message that says the rt is starting...

Added basic splash screen functionality in revision 579. However, there are still some improvements to be made:

- Get original image so that logo.splash.jpg does not have artifacts from MS Paint
- Change progress bar to some sort of animation (spinning wheel, bar going back and forth
