Hi François,

Here are links to new wiki pages that hopefully will help address some of your concerns:

https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Downloading_and_installing_JOGL
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_an_Eclipse_project_that_uses_JOGL
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_an_IntelliJ_IDEA_project_that_uses_JOGL

I agree that the download process is needlessly complicated right now  I mention the .gz problem you encountered on the wiki page, but hopefully that will be fixed soon.

I'm not an expert on trimming down the JOGL installation size... all my apps are desktop apps  But if you have some info on that, please post it here and I'll put it on the wiki. Right now I'm focusing on added more "getting started" stuff for entry-level users.
