Hi James

I understand your position as I used the URL you're talking about for years. Now, I deploy JOGL on my own server, I sign the JARs by myself, it works even better than when I relied on Oracle servers. Sven tried to explain to you that we have no control on Oracle servers, we are not Oracle's employees, JogAmp (including JOGL) is a community project, we do our best. We do not maintain JOGL 1.1.1a and I have personally suggested to all JOGL users to switch to JOGL 2.0 for several years in order to avoid such problems.

You should host JOGL 1.1.1a JARs and native libraries on your own server as I explained here:
http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/n-b-quot-old-quot-jogl-1-1-1-jars-are-unsigned-since-september-17th-2011/24806/msg/210832/view.html#msg210832

After that, you should plan to switch to JOGL 2. Take care as it is not a drop-in replacement of JOGL 1.1.1a, the public API has changed, your source code would need to be adapted. If you need some help to make such a port, let us know. Best regards.
