I asked about this yesterday on the Mac Java Developers' mailing list and got the impression that Apple believe this is technically feasible and are keen to see it happen.  (If you're interested, consult the Mac java developers' archives for more details.)

I've successfully built their example code from http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/JAWTExample/Introduction/Intro.html, but it's not obvious how to work that into JOGL as it stands now. It looks like it will require some pretty major changes, which probably only Sven is qualified to do.

It sounds like (from reading http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2011/Aug/msg00067.html) that the Apple guys are working with Oracle engineers on this same problem -- hopefully they can come up with a solution that doesn't require such a different rendering model for applets.
