In Outlook Preferences, under General, you enable the Make Outlook the default application for e-mail, calendar, and contacts option. Choose the preferred program and it will instantly change the default Mac app for that file type. The Change All button will change all file types for that app so that any other customizations will revert back to defaults.

Is there a way to set a .jar application as the default program to open .blah files on Mac OSX? I know how to set a .app as a default application, but the .app is the only file type not grayed out when you go to choose an application as a default.
What should I do about it?

As discussed in Java Deployment Options for Mac OS X, you can create a Mac OS X Application Bundle that 'can associate specific document types with your application. This lets users launch your application by double-clicking a document created by your application.' See also more About Info.plist Keys.
