If the length of the processing is not known, you'll have to setDeterminate(false) on the JProgressBar

Or rather <br />
<br />
setIndeterminate(true);<br />

hello!<br />
<br />
I want to use a JProgressBar in a splash screen of a java program i am writing. The program at the start reads some text files, processes them etc. I want to indicate how much of the processing is done by using a JProgressBar, so the user essentially knows how much is left before the main GUI part of the app shows.<br />
<br />
How can i determine the length of the task? How is it usually done, currently, the only way i am aware of tackling this problem is to increment the progress bar by 1 in different locations of the code untill i finally have incremented to 100 (the max value of the JProgressBar i want to use) at the end of the task. To me this seems tedious and very unprofessional, i was wondering how professional java developers would indicate how much of a task is complete using a JProgressBar.<br />
<br />
Thx for any tips or help.

Using a JProgressBar

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
