I really advise you to build JOGL 2.0 beta from the source because the JARs are so obsolete. You can get a GL4 backward compatible context in an applet with the version on the trunk.

Building JOGL on Linux is very simple, it is a bit tricky on Windows especially if you want to use Visual Studio but I gave some indications to do so.
