Hi,

Most likely this is a dumb question, but I searched google and could not find an answer: how do I run Mac applications and pass parameters (from Java)? I've tried something like

 Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {
   "/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview",
   "/Users/tom/test.png"
 });

But that just opens the Preview application without opening the graphic. Is there a general way like "start foo.png" on Windows?
