[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT and open document event on Mac OS X

[Oliver <mopr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Carolyn,

thanks for your reply.  But unfortunately the info at the web site is not sufficient.  It says how to package an .app bundle and how to start an SWT Java program over the command line on Mac.
But I need to find out the file path in cases when my application is started by the user "indirectly" by double-clicking NOT on the app-Icon but on a data file with an extension registered for my application.

Cheers,
Oliver
