Do not pass Apple Event "Open File" to Java application

[eduardomozart]

Hello,
When using JavaMacLauncher as a Java stub, when using Info.plist to associate a extension with the program (e.g. *.por files), when clicking into a *.por file, it opens the Java program but it didn't pass the file path as an argument to the Java program.
In AppleScript, it's possible to intercept them using "On Open", that receives kAEOpenDocuments (Apple Events), as "Open With" actions do not pass them as arguments (argv) to the executable, instead, it passes the files to open as an Apple Event. There's a workaround in https://github.com/RichardBronosky/AppleScript-droplet which receive those events and bypass them to the Bash script as arguments.

I get the File this way when double-clicking on Mac OS:

public class MyClass {

    private static String[] args;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        if (System.getProperty("os.name").contains("OS X")) {
            java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().setOpenFileHandler((java.awt.desktop.OpenFilesEvent e) -> {
                File f = e.getFiles().stream().findFirst().get();
                MyClass.args = new String[] { f.getAbsolutePath() };
            });
        }

    }

}    

A bit late, but I hope it helps!

It would be great if no changes to the source code be necessary. JavaMacLauncher should handle those scenarios and convert them as in-line arguments to the program so it would work as it is as on other platforms (Windows, Linux...).

Yes, I agree! It would also be great if there was a version of JavaMacLauncher for ARM64
