> gouessej: i have now tested what would happen:
> It turned out to be an ok solution for 24/7 internet connected computers.
> The JNLP launcher would then download gluegen-rt and jogl-all jar and start

> At runtime JogAmp needs to load the native jar and then download the correct

> The application then start correctly:
> # ONLINE mode = OK
> # no natives referenced in JNLP
