I reproduce the crash under Windows 7 64 bits with Java 1.7 update 51. Something is printed in the console.

I get that in Events.log:

Would you like to send us the error log to help you with this problem?
GLDrawableFactory.shutdownImpl: Catched java.lang.IllegalStateException during factory shutdown #2/2 jogamp.opengl.egl.EGLDrawableFactory
#### Java Web Start Error:
#### Shutdown in progress

Edit.: I use a property in TUER to skip OpenGL-ES loading in desktop environments, it helped me to avoid crashes on some machines, maybe it would help you:
System.setProperty("jogl.disable.opengles","true");
