I have nothing against Scala users but we can't respect contradictory guidelines to make all build tools work, we can't satisfy them all. Some build tools aren't flexible enough, it's not our fault. Please try to understand this paragraph:
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/JogAmp_JAR_File_Handling#Usage
There is already a convention that allows to make a distinction between the native libraries and if we change it, it will break all tools that respect it. In my humble opinion, this "limitation" should be managed by sbt, not by JOGL. The tool should allow to move or rename files to go from another set of conventions to its own set of conventions instead of expecting all libraries to respect its conventions.
