I’ve finally bitten the bullet and moved over to Java 7 on Mac.

The only thing I’m stuck on is handling opening files when they are 
double-clicked in the Finder or dropped on my program in the Dock.

Are there any changes required to the file handling stuff in Info.plist for 
Java 7, or should one that worked with the previous Java still work?

Previously, I had this to handle the files:

        com.apple.mrj.MRJApplicationUtils.registerOpenDocumentHandler(m);

Some googling revealed that now I need this:

        com.apple.eawt.Application.getApplication().setOpenFileHandler(m);

Double-clicking the file is opening my app, but the OpenFileHandler is never 
called.

(Note that Application.getApplication().addApplicationListener(m) *is* working; 
I’m able to intercept Quit like I used to.)

If my program was not running, it opens. But no handler call.

If my program was already running, it pops to the foreground. But no handler 
call.

What’s the trick?
