Sorry but this is a Java bug which has not been fixed by Oracle, even
in very recent Java 11. See "[macosx] OpenFilesHandler does not
receive fileopen events",
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043852
In the Comments tab of that bug report, one can read this justification
for why the bug has been declared as won’t fix:
* As stated in http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260, a replacement to this
internal API has been provided [1] in JDK 9 and com.apple.eawt will be
encapsulated. The command-line workaround to break encapsulation could
be used before migrating to the new API. Close this issue as will not
fix.
I probably do not understand the the impact of what this means. However,
this to me sounds like there are two workaroiunds: a replacement API and
a command-line workaround.
