http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Downloading_and_installing_JOGL:

Can you remove the DLL and lib part, but focus on the native JAR files ?

The DLLs and lib folder should not be required anymore
and using the native JAR files is much easier.

Using the native JARs also aliases away the different set of platform DLLs
like: nativewindow_win32.dll libnativewindow_x11.so ...
(Your table has an error there as well, ie win32 for all)

They also may be gone w/ the all-platforms 7z file, or will be relocated
in their respective platform subfolder to resolve naming conflicts, lib/<os.and.arch>/ :
  lib/linux-i586/
  lib/linux-amd64/
  ...

My opinion: Remove the notion of the lib folder and focus on native JAR files.
Maybe put the native lib folder in a bottom section like 'more details' .. or so.

Here again we may need to describe the different deployment forms
as demonstrated on our test-applet-page (Dual, LApplet, JApplet, NApplet, ..).
I actually prefere NApplet right now, since it doesn't require JNLP and is just
less work to do.

Plus we may need to update the Object/Embed stuff, since simple Applet tags won't
do it anymore (-> Safari for example).

What do you think ?
