We don't maintain the previous version of JOGL any more,
which last check-in happened around 2009 ?
(All java.net or kenai.org stuff .. is obsolete)

What we do support is http://jogamp.org's version of JOGL
which is actively developed.

See <http://jogamp.org/jogl/> and a direct applet test page
is available here <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/jogl-test-applets.html>

Well .. maybe a clueless attempt to update the JAR's signature/signing
since it may have expired. But the source code repositories are very old,
ie. no active development.

Please feel welcomed to enjoy and participate here.
