I installed libosmesa6:amd64. The ubuntu package repo said libgl-mesa-swx11 contained libgl1-mesa-swrast and apt-get said libosmesa6 replaced it. glxinfo now gives me an "Error: unable to open display" message and my java app has the same exception as before. I know it's probably not a jogl issue but I hoped someone here would know how to set up offscreen, software rendering.
Thanks for the help; hopefully, if you're willing to debug this with me, we can figure it out. I posted the dpkg -l *mesa* output below if it helps.
