opening a file with netbeans via command-line in macOS?

[Thomas Wolf]

I’m running 12.3 on Java 14 and I want to open a file in NB from the
commandline and have it highlight a given line.  If NB is not currently
running, this works:

open -a /Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 12.3.app --args
/Users/twolf/spectare/sat_projects/zlib-1.2.11/compress.c:15

But if NB is already open, nothing happens -i.e. the file doesn’t appear in
the editor.

I vaguely remember this (or something like this) working in Linux.  Can
someone point me to any reference that shows what the correct methods are
for macOS, Windows, and Linux?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
