How to add own option to emerging menu windows?

Question

I'm using Java to create a program, the GUI is being created with Java Swing. So I'd like to know what can I do to make my program appear in the emerging menu on Windows (right-click menu).

There's a link where you can see what I mean:

enter image description here

So the idea is to install the program and make appear a custom option in that menu.

DYM like an 'Open With' option (a [file association](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_association)) on right click? — Andrew Thompson, Nov 16 '13 at 12:07

Great! I didn't look for "context" menu... many thanks, but I can't upvote because I don't have enough reputation. – pabloFdz Nov 16 '13 at 12:47
