I figured out how to make the applet path independent, so I thought I'd share.

You set "./" as the value for the codebase tag, and if all the files are in the same folder,
you can move the folder anywhere and the applet will still run.

The final jnlp files are as follow:

jogl.jnlp

Wade, after you finish publishing your paper, could you please post the "advanced topic" on how to cut down
on jar sizes so that only the necessary files are downloaded?

Thanks again for all your help!
