Xerxes: I acctually can run most of the links you posted (even the one that you had privacy problems with - but I still have this privacy setting changed as described in one of the posts above).
This ones I cannot run however:
http://wavelogy.pixelapp.biz/WavelogyDesktop.jnlp (page does never load... The server at wavelogy.pixelapp.biz is taking too long to respond.)
jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-application-version.jnlp (Error: Could not launch JNLP file [...] Caused by java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jogamp.opengl.awt.VersionApplet)

I discovered the problem while trying to run for instance the project described in Wade Walker's blog (http://wadeawalker.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/tutorial-a-cross-platform-workbench-program-using-java-opengl-and-eclipse)

And then I noticed I used older version of JOGL (jogl-2.0-b688-20120227) ... after updating the jars and librarys with the newest JOGL version (jogl-2.0-b752-20120504) the tutorial from the Wade's blog works again :) Hopefully this will help other as well. Thank you for your help, Xerxes...
