Yeah, that's probably what I'll do to make sure of everything. Safest road then plucking things one by one to make sure everything works fine until the wanted configuration. This is time consuming and I was hoping for a solution less about trial and error. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Whatever the results, if I may, I have a few propositions to makes things a bit easier in the same situation:
- As was stated above, a more comprehensive error message would help greatly (such as which library is missed or malfunctionning).
- A page that explains which files in the download section contains which java packages. I spent quite some time downloading many files just to see which one contained what packages (I download about 6 just to find the one containing the GLUT methods). As I said, it's not always the solution to use the "*.all.*" packages. A schema explaining how they are split would help big time.
- I was unable to read those file not ending with "*.gz". For example, I could not read the "jogl.util.jar", not even with a package browser (Ubuntu) and Java was unable to read them as well. I had to download the "jogl.util.jar.gz" file and extract the JAR from it. Not all JARs are broken that way. JARed native library files were OK.
