I belive you are on the right track here. JarBundler gives you the opportunity to add properties to an application before it is bundled (in the Properties tab). these properties end up in the app package (choose Get Info:Show Package Contents) as a file called info.plist. I don't believe you can edit this file directly; at least, I couldn't. but if you know how to code plists you can add MIME types, file extensions, and more to the app in JarBundler. I do not know if there is a way to add these properties as java classes in the Jmol source itself.
You can edit the plist file with any text editor. CONTROL-click on the app, choose Show Package Contents, and drag the Contents/Info.plist icon onto Text Editor.
Following the instructions here (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Concepts/PListKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431/TPXREF107), I added these lines to the file:
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<string>mol,pdb</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeMIMETypes</key>
<string>chemical/x-mdl-molfile,chemical/x-pdb</string>But nothing has changed in the Finder. Jmol still isn't recognized as an app that can open MOL files. Anyone know if my format for the properties is incorrect?
