JNLP apps crash on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

I have a JOGL2 based JNLP applet, and a similar JNLP app.  After upgrading my Mac to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), I find that the applet still works fine, but the app crashes, apparently at the point where it sets up the JOGL canvas, in libjogl_desktop.jnilib.

Checking the standard gears demo app at jogamp.org/jogl-demos/www/, I find exactly the same problem:

--------------------------------
Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

--------------------------------

So this appears to be a general problem with JOGL2 apps on OS X 10.8 rather than anything specific to my app.  Is this a known problem or do I need to file a bug report?

Hi

Do you still reproduce this bug? Someone else recently tried to run my game (using Java Web Start) under Mac OS X 10.8.2 with Oracle JDK 1.7 and got a crash.

@Sven Do you have an access to this version of Mac OS X?

No, sorry - only 10.7.5 here.

But it should work w/ OSX 10.8 and latest JOGL aggregation
_if_ not using a GL3 context.

I currently work on a fix for the latter (GL3 & CALayer).

~Sven

Don't be sorry, you already do your best. I use GLProfile.getMaxFixedFunc(true). I use a more recent build. I will ask him to send me the logs. I'm worried as I use NEWT, I thought I wouldn't be bothered under Mac.

Please can you just confirm it runs under your Mac?

Apple and Oracle are just becoming paranoid, you have to select “Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere” to make it work. I don't want to buy a certificate yet.

Oracle is going to kill Java Web Start. I can't use trusted certificates because of a bug under Windows and I must use a trusted certificate under Mac because of a change in the policy.

Edit.: Apple introduced Gatekeeper in Mac OS X 10.8.
