can't create GL3 and GL4 context
i've just downloaded latest JOGL version from JOGAMP.org (amd64 windows)

GLProfile profile = GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL4);
and
GLProfile profile = GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL3);
throws the following error:

Exception in thread "main" javax.media.opengl.GLException: Profile GL4 is not available on null, but: [GLProfile[GL2ES2/GL2], GLProfile[GL2ES1/GL2], GLProfile[GL2/GL2], GLProfile[GL2/GL2], GLProfile[GL2GL3/GL2]]
        at javax.media.opengl.GLProfile.get(GLProfile.java:655)
        at javax.media.opengl.GLProfile.get(GLProfile.java:668)
        at de.schabby.jogl.helloworld.HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:16)

GLProfile profile = GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL2); <- works

added jogl.all.jar and gluegen-rt.jar to my project, anything else missing?

System: XPS15 Laptop, i7, 8GB DDR3 Ram, Nvidia gt540m graphics card with latest drivers

EDIT:
as described here: http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Downloading_and_installing_JOGL
i also tried to use the latest builds, didn't work
