Thanks for the info.  Just this morning I was googling myself and finally found the archive list you mention below.  I noticed the 1.1.1a build but have not had a chance to try it yet.  I will give it a try and let you know what happens.  The problem I had been having was that since the java code i have was written some time back based on the 1.1.2 prebuild version of jogl but the jogl.jar files i had installed were from the most recent version (in between those two versions a lot of changes took place it seems) i am getting a lot of errors messages stating that the GL.GL_LINE and gl.glvertexf type statments not recoginized.  evidently in the new version of jogl that supports the newer versions of OpenGL changes have been made to some of these constant names and or function names and or argument lists etc.
I am still learning the differences between the older JOGL and the newer JOGL but I found this page that explains how the older version supports the older version of OpenGL and the newer version supports the newer version of OpenGL that uses more of the shader type structuring.

Having said all of that, I am hoping you are right.  It is my hope that by using a version like 1.1.1a that is at least close to the version my code was written based on, I will be close enough to avoid the issues above.  It seems that might be the case.  I'll give it a try and add an update sharing what I found out.
Thanks for your help,
Edward
