It should not make a difference, but the JNLP w/ Launcher fallback demo (working):

  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-applet-runner-newt-gears-normal.html>

uses the JNLP URL:

  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-all-awt.jnlp>

which is the 'official' URL (you may replace 'jogamp-current' w/ another version
accessible via: <http://jogamp.org/deployment/>

Actually both are symbolic links to the subfolder within 'archive' ..

However, I like to advertise the NApplet launcher method w/o JNLP:

<http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-applet-runner-newt-gears-normal-napplet.html>

which is pretty much more straight forward and has no JNLP requirements.

Also note: The JNLP lauching method may not update the JAR files when you start the
           applet/application, but only in background.
           Clean your cache and see if this did the trick.
           The above NApplet method cures this bug as well ..

Please look at the html codes, maybe you don't use the 'object' tags ?

Sorry .. just a few pointers here. However the jogl-test applet page works for most of us.
