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

...or there's the easy way:

   % open -a /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app /path/to/file.xml

or

% open -b ro.sync.exml.Oxygen /path/to/file.xml

Thanks,

$ open /path/to/file.xml

works as I need. (duh)

best,

And if Oxygen is the default handler for those files -- quite possible, since it seems quite aggressive in setting itself as the handler for an awful lot of things -- then just 'open /path/to/ file.xml' will work as well.

This seems a slightly eccentric point of view.

OS X is just BSD with bells, whistles and gongs in the window manager. If you want more details here, then you might want to look at <http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Command_Line_Admin_v10.5.pdf > or <http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Command_Line_v10.4.pdf>. Those are both for headless admin of OS X Server, but quite a lot of the functionality is present in OS X Client as well, so it's perfectly feasible to do headless admin of an OS X Client machine, too.

All the best,

Norman
