I exploit a bash script (myJavaBash.sh) inside an Software Bundle (myJavaJar.app), that begins “java -jar myJarFile.jar” with further JVM arguments (which works nice thus far). My purpose is to go a file identify as argument to the applying, too, at any time when the person opens a file through “open with … myJavaJar.app”.

I attempted to implement OpenFilesHandler within the java utility and to repeat an AppleScript-scpt-file into the bundle that calls myJavaBash.sh with out success.

Final thing I attempted only for the sake of testing each risk was to name osascript inside the bash

#!/bin/bash

#take a look at: set command line args
MY_TITLE="Launching myJavaJarApp"
ARGS_MSG="command line args: "

osascript <<-EndOfScript
    set arguments to ""
      on open theFiles
            repeat with anItem in theFiles
               set arguments to arguments & house & (quoted type of POSIX path of anItem)
            finish repeat
      finish open
    show dialog "$ARGS_MSG" & arguments with title "$MY_TITLE"     
EndOfScript

Didn’t work out, the dialog simply states $ARGS_MSG an no arguments, after I open a file with the myJavaJar.app.

Appears to me that setting the bash-script as CFBundleExecutable “consumes” all AppleEvents.

Or is there a method?
