Cool, nice guide on how to get the demos up and running in Eclipse. There are a few things I might add to ur tutorial:
1. If u are under Windows, and just want to have a quick look what these demos really are and if JOGL works on ur installation u can simply download a precompiled version from github under build_demos_jogamp/. Just copy a up2date JRE in the runtime folder and u are good to go.
2. Theres an Ant build.xml in the build/ folder wich more or less does steps 6-8 of your guide automatically. You can use it to deploy a full "release ready" version of the demos to some folder of your choice with a single click.
3. The reason why theres a runtime folder wich is supposed to contain the JRE, is ease of deployment in conjunction with the above mentioned Ant build script. I totally agree with u that repackaging the JRE with ur application is really "bad style" but as I'm quite lazy and redeploy often I preferred the all-in-one-folder method this time
.
Other than the above mentioned I can only add: Keep up the good work!

ps. As a sidenote: The tumblr blog and the repository ur referred to aren't maintained by Michael but rather by me. Yes, sometimes I wish I were Michael Bien, but most of the time I'm quite comfortable with being myself
