Anyway, here is what he had to say...
Hi Chris,
The guy's probably doomed because it's a java applet. But you never know, maybe there's some java API on the Mac that'll let him jump through the same hoops I had to for the glut app. I've attached a code snippet that looks for the clue and then calls the code I borrowed and modified from MacPython and/or Freetype. My version of the FTMac_GetArgv(&argv) function is in the ldglite sources in getargv.c.
Don
// When you double click on a file in the finder it doesn't pass the
// filename(s) on the command line. Instead you have to get a hint
// in the form of a "-psn_*" arg which contains a pid or something
// like that. Then you have to jump through the Mac events API
// to find the filenames.
//
// Probably should look for one of those -psn* args before doing this.
// (glutInit() removes -psn* args, but does not insert the filenames)
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++)
if (!strncmp(argv[i], "-psn_", 5))
{
needargs = 1;
break;
}
// This replaces all args with stuff from the finder.
// Assume there will be no other args if if comes from the finder.
// That may not be the case if I figure out how to get ldglite.command
// script to call the ldglite executable in the bundle.
// Maybe I should call the bundled executable l3glite.
if (needargs)
argc = FTMac_GetArgv(&argv);End of copied message.
If any of this stuff meant anything to me I could decide whether or not this is helpful, but it doesn't, so I can't.

After using Jar Bundler to bundle the new Jmol 10 version 7 and then
modifying the plist, I am now able to set all .mol files on my drive to

Good
However, although Jmol now launches upon double-clicking .mol files,
Jmol still doesn't load those files, somewhat defeating the purpose of
double-clicking.
I need some information on how OSX passes parameters to apps that it
launches. A developer who knows a little bit about OSX software
development should be able to easily answer this ... or give me a document
reference in developer.apple.com
Apparently it is not passing the name of the file as a command-line parameter ... otherwise it would be opening the file.
Dragging the file icon onto the Jmol icon is also ineffective.
This is probably exactly the same issue.
