Answer 1

Try to create custom Splash screen, using following thread for example: Eclipse RCP application - custom splash screen .

Use following extention point to register your SplashHandler:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.splashHandlers">
   <splashHandler
        class="com.example.application.splash.SlideShowSplashHandler"
        id="splash.slideshow">
   </splashHandler>
   <splashHandlerProductBinding
        productId="com.example.application.product"
        splashId="com.example.application.splash.slideshow">
   </splashHandlerProductBinding>
</extension>

In the Splash handler create composite with an image, taken from the location, which was defined by user.
