Can we have an [[E-on-Java]] app that handles Mac open events using the Apple Java extensions?

This does the obvious thing, but doesn't actually receive open events. Perhaps there is a which-thread-is-the-listener-invoked-on problem?

#!/usr/bin/env rune

# For something that might work in SWT see https://www.kallisti.net.nz/trac/emusicj/browser/trunk/macsrc/nz/net/kallisti/emusicj/mac/OpenDocHandler.java (directly registering an AppleEvent handler)

println("mainline a")
interp.waitAtTop(when (currentVat.morphInto("awt")) -> {
println("getting App")
def app := <unsafe:com.apple.eawt.makeApplication>.getApplication()

println("installing listener")
app.addApplicationListener(def lis {
to handleOpenFile(ev) {
try {
println(`got event $ev`)
println(ev.getFilename())
} catch p {
println(`$p${p.eStack()}`)
}
}
match msg {
println(`got msg $msg`)
}
})
println("all set")
})
println("mainline b; blocking")
interp.blockAtTop()
