In your application delegate, override this method:

Code:

public boolean applicaiontOpenFile(NSApplication app, String fileName)

I assume that in ObjC (as opposed to Java) that would be

-(BOOL) applicationOpenFile

NSApplication *)file
fileName

NSString *)filename

am I correct?

Looks right, but I'd check the NSApplication docs in the delegate section near the bottom to make sure.
