Thank you for mention all the issues.
We have to dig through the cruft of our APIs indeed.

I have created an 'envelop bug entry'
  <https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=968>

Please use it as a parent,
i.e. make your new related bug entry block bug 968.

I consider AWTTextureIO inferior to TextureIO.
The latter uses our own PNG and JPEG decoder.

Hence AWTTextureIO might not properly reflect flipped states
and it seems to have a bug in this regard.
TextureIO w/ our PNG and JPEG decoder properly reflects the flipped state
and the images are decoded into GL orientation by default.

Personally I would like to simply remove AWTTextureIO,
but this might be too harsh for some AWT users ...

true.

Not familiar w/ this class - but sure, go ahead.
Pls provide at least one unit test (as always).

Sure not. I guess our own TGA reader lacks support of 'your TGA format',
maybe some specific feature is used?.

I remember we have an old IDEA project file in JOGL.
IMHO it should just work when things (jar, source-attachements)
are configured correctly. I am personally not using it,
since it is not free software.
Sure, maybe an IDEA user can add a Wiki section to our general IDE Wiki page.
