Double-click to open cdt (et al) files
I don't know if there's a conventional way to do this with java applications - there probably is, but I'm sure we would have to explicitly implement it. It would be nice if users could open their data files in TreeView simply by double-clicking on them.
I know of a way to do this with jar files in Mac OS that utilizes automator. You can create an automator "helper" app that makes a command line call and can pass the double-clicked file path/name to the call. Check out how I did this to be able to open .pl, .cgi, and *.pm files:

reporter I installed cytoscape today for another project and noticed that they handle this issue during installation like this. They agree to handle files passed to it with a given extension and then simply show a message explaining how to tell the finder to send a double-clicked file to cytoscape:
I'm willing to bet we can do better than this, and handle the finder association automatically. There's got to be a documented way of doing this.

I agree, there must be a way to do this automatically.
