Open a Java Application by clicking on a file in Mac OSX

I have already gone through the following links : Double click document file in Mac OS X to open Java application

Also I have mentioned the following steps to resolve my problem :

Firstly, I modified my Info.plist to add the two keys :

I am using Java FX maven plugin to build the app which requires a deploy folder to place the customised icons and the plist file.I place the plist in this folder so that when it tries to build the app , it picks up the plist from this location and places it in the Contents folder of the app.

It does that , but when I run my app and try to open .qi extension files with my app , nothing happens.I click on the file , but it doesnt perform any action.

Please help me and let me know if I am missing out something.

I am new to Mac, so forgive me if I give a stupid answer, or state the obvious for any Mac user.

I am looking through file opening in another context and came across the documentation that Finder needs to be killed via a Terminal session after editing a plist file.
