Sorry .. I got it ..

That is a config we do _not_ support [yet],
i.e. you have 3 jar archives:

  - ProcessingClasspath.jar [gluegen, jogl, processing classes]
  - ProcessingNatives.jar   [gluegen, jogl, processing native libs]
  - Test.jar                [user stuff]

Our 'fat' approach assumes the native libraries
in the same jar file of the classes for gluegen and jogl, i.e.:

  - jogl-fat.jar            [gluegen, jogl, classes and native-libs]
  - Test.jar                [user stuff]

or in your case (if possible):

  - ProcessingFat.jar       [gluegen, jogl, processing classes and native-libs]
  - Test.jar                [user stuff]

If you cannot do the ProcessingFat.jar,
stuff gluegen's and jogl's classes into your ProcessingNatives.jar.

See:

<http://jogamp.org/git/?p=gluegen.git;a=blob;f=test/TestMultiAndFatJar/make-fat_and_multi.sh;h=de031be231c51153f44f3b9535a0e145e5f3cef9;hb=2868816971bb80eb226e6edffc527d909ced755b>

Problem is that we need to find the native libs
in relation to the gluegen-rt or jogl-all jar URI
and also validate their signatures if a security manager is enabled.

We would need to introduce a 3rd way of finding your 'ProcessingNatives.jar',
which is not [yet] implemented, i.e. via '-natives-fat' postfix analogue
to '-natives-linux-amd64' etc.

It is possible that we include this, if this path is really necessary.
Maybe you can contribute this yourself ?
At least we should add junit test for all these configurations ..
