Slightly OT: soft link to a java app stub?



Hi,

(Apologies if this is offtopic for the list)

I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running java app. I have a java application (oXygen XML editor). I have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so:

/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub / path/to/file.xml

I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir):

$ oxy /path/to/file.xml

thanks for any tips,
-Rob

p.s. any tips on a better forum to post a question like this is appreciated too
