Hello!

I've been considering deploy my JOGL application as an applet but I'm having second thoughts. I started looking into how to do the whole thing and checked out the demos. None of them would load. Nothing I did could fix it either, I've tried running under Ubuntu 12.04, Windows XP, Windows 7, Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Java 6, and Java 7.

Is deploying a JOGL applet currently impossible?

Running the gears demo in applet viewer gives me this:

Are the certificates expired or something? I'm not sure what else could cause that.
