    Sigh. Doesn't work for me ... but the arguments *are* showing up in
    argv, whether launched from the shell or in XCode (provided I supply
    them to Java - not to <projectName> - under Executables). So I rolled
    my own code to turn what's in argv into an NSDictionary. Perhaps
    there's something mucked up on my development machine - I'll have to
    try this elsewhere ...

    Thanks for the suggestion.
