The problem is caused by Oracle modifying certificates and the certificates that the JOGL jars were signed with are no longer valid which causes a fatal error in any JOGL application that cannot be rectified.
I have verified this with the World Wind example applet and application template on the World Wind demo page.
This will potentially impact all DoD instances of World Wind and any other JOGL-based application during the next couple of days as the networks are updated as directed by Information Assurance (IA). Sun has designated Java version 6u31 as a critical security release.
NASA is looking into the problem, but I wanted to make sure that the JOGL community was aware.
Right now the only work around that we know of is to revert to 6u30.
Thanks,
