Ugh!  I'm banging my head against my desk, I just realized that the CAD application I was still having problems with shipped its own copy of jogl-all.jar, so the entire time after I installed the patched version of jogl the application was still using an old copy.  That is why the fedora installed scilab worked, because it uses system libraries.  After copying the newly patched jar file into the CAD program's lib directory that program began working as well.  I will let the application developer know that they should pull in a new version of jogl for their next update.
Thank you for looking at this problem, I'm sorry I did not notice the app shipped its own version of the library sooner, it would have saved all of us time wasted.  
In short, patch seems good, verified working after correcting for user error of using old library after patching.
