I like how the new "zip" links on the front page point to the "archive" directories for webstart and webstart-next. I think this will avoid some confusion from users who try to download JOGL manually to deploy on their own servers. I ran into this .gz problem myself

Speaking of which, is it ever a good idea for JOGL web start users to point to http://jogamp.org/deployment/webstart/ in their JNLP files? It seems like this just creates the possibility of their app breaking whenever the newest JOGL changes something, with their local JARs staying the same.

Maybe I just don't understanding the usage model correctly? Why do we serve up these files in a form that other peoples' web start apps can use? Why not just make everyone serve the JOGL JAR files themselves?
