Jeff,

have I mentioned:
http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Jogl_FAQ#Bugreports_.26_Testing
?? :)

Because then I would have known that this is an AMD driver issue in relation with
AMD's GLSL out of process compiler and the JVM.

While doing the final tests today on Windows, I ran into it with AMD driver 10.10 - 10.11 !
10.09 hangs 'only' a few seconds (around 5-10s maybe).

Here are the other posts I have found (I guess yours):
http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=285876&page=1
http://forums.amd.com/devforum/messageview.cfm?catid=392&threadid=141999&enterthread=y

Would have been much more helpful (saved time),
if you would have referenced all this information in the 1st place, sorry for nagging :)

I guess we need a solution here.
IMHO AMD fixes this 'behavior' (I would call it a bug),
since I don't know what we possibly could do about it.

Have you or anybody else made any progress ?

In the meantime I only can say, downgrade to 10.09.

Cheers, Sven
