Ok, thank's Michael, that  workaround seems to work.  I do get a GL4 context,
and glGetString(GL.GL_VERSION) now correctly reports version 4.1

Still I have a question: it seems that specific OGL4.0/OGL4.1 features are already present in Jogl GL3.
I also see from the Javadoc that GL4 does not introduce new constants or new methods,
although OpenGL 4.0/4.1 of course does add a few things on top of OpenGL 3.3.

So what's the philosophy behind the GL4 interface? Is it just a "tagging interface" ?

Best regards,
