Answer 1

Use java.awt.Window or javax.swing.JWindow?

Answer 2

It doesn't sound like you need a window at all. A SplashScreen should do what you want, provided that you don't need the user to interact with the image in any way other than viewing it. You can look at the SplashDemo.java file from the link above to get started.

Answer 3

Or you could set the frame to be undecorated.

frame.setUndecorated(true);

It will look and behave just as a Window container.
