Hi,

You must add the .jar file to the "Files and Folder" page.
Go to "Java Products" page and create a new product ("New Product" button).
Go to "File Association" page ->"New Extension" button, and select your application.
Name the extension: sur
and use "New Verb" button to add a open action for that type of files. You can leave that verb at the default values. It will work.

Best,
Mihai.
