Hi everyone and congrats for the recent 2.3.2 release! I'm tracking down a problem where my users are reporting Antivirus warnings about a "jogamp_tst_exe" executable being launched. I've identified the source in Glugen's IOUtil.testDirExec() method which seems to aim to test whether an executable can be run. Can someone clarify whether that's the expected behavior and why would JOGL need to be able to run executables when embedded as a library? And then, if there's a way to disable that.

Help much appreciated!
