I've seen this on 32-bit Windows XP myself, but haven't tracked it down fully yet. A comment on my tutorial at http://wadeawalker.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/tutorial-a-cross-platform-workbench-program-using-java-opengl-and-eclipse/ said you can work around it like this:

import com.jogamp.opengl.impl.windows.wgl.GDI;

insert this line : GDI.GetDC(glcanvas.handle);
after this line: glcanvas.setCurrent();

He apparently found that at http://www.javagaming.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=21387.0, but there's no bug entry for it yet. I'll look into this and create a bug if needed.
