  problem is you can't call it early enough in lifecycle containers
(webstart/applets/NetBeans modules etc).
Thats why its a blocker for the JOGL 2 release.

The root cause is known as mentioned in the bug report (threading
optimization).

I have found a workaround, calling GLProfile.initSingleton() in a child class of AbstractUIPlugin works fine (except when I lost the focus) when using Eclipse RCP.
