It would be great to be able to double-click a file in the finder and have it open in NetBeans too.

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
