Are Jogl Applets Even Possible?

First off I know they should be http://jogamp.org/jogl-demos/www/applettest-jnlp.html

But I have had no such luck and tried a bunch of things. Even tried compiling the gears source itself. See http://www.javagaming.org/index.php?topic=22979.0 for what I've done. If anyone can help or give me a working example that I can compile and then successfully deploy on my own I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I think I'll just quit.

Please have a look here, to create a useful report:
        http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Jogl_FAQ#Bugreports_.26_Testing

Even though the binaries are quite old, it works here on Linux and Windows
with a recent JVM (>= 6u19) and Firefox3 ..

New builds/version are in the works ..

Please stay with us a little longer, if you like :)

We really need a fresh build. The JARs and the JNLP files need to be updated too.

As long as you are willing to help I can keep trying.

What I'm using:
Windows 7 Home
eclipse-java-galileo-SR1-win32
jdk1.6.0_21
jogl-2.0-pre-20100926-windows-i586
Chrome/Firefox/Explorer (tried them all)

The code I use for the applet is taken from
http://github.com/sgothel/jogl-demos/blob/master/src/demos/applets/GearsApplet.java
http://github.com/sgothel/jogl-demos/blob/master/src/demos/gears/Gears.java

However, if I use this exact code I get errors with GLProfile.initSingleton(...) so I just removed it from both files. (Not sure if thats a good thing to do or if its allowed). Also, I have to change GLAnimatorControl to FPSAnimator because again it says it does not exist. However, both of these errors only occur during deployment. Running the standard code in Eclipse works fine.

I sign the java doing this
http://wiki.plexinfo.net/index.php?title=How_to_sign_JAR_files

I use this code to deploy
http://jogamp.org/jogl-demos/www/applettest-jnlp.html

The first time I try to load the applet I get this error

Then if I hit refresh I get this error

And thats where I am today. Also, http://jogamp.org/jogl-demos/www/applettest-jnlp.html used to always for me but starting yesterday it doesn't work anymore.
