The solution to my problem was:

copying all necessary jar's (as written here: http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Downloading_and_installing_JOGL#Unzipping_the_files)

to the central extension directory in Ubuntu /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/
now everything works just fine.

@gouessej thank you for your support and feedback.
