Thanks @jmaasing

I had an idea that the git protocol may be blocked by default in my Windows firewall, so I tried replacing git:// with https:// in the two commands and I was able to clone both of them locally. It might be worthwhile to update the instructions at http://jogamp.org/jogl/doc/HowToBuild.html to specify https instead of git so that others won't run into this.

At some point, I may mess with the Windows firewall settings and see if I can determine if that's really the problem.

I also came across another git configuration option that I may try, which helps with if the git protocol is blocked by a local firewall. It's described at https://bredland.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/git-protocol-tcp-9418-blocked-by-firewall/. I'll try that someday too. Basically, it simply says to run the following command:

    git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

In the mean time, since Julien has provided a JAR containing JOGL 2.3.2 + the bug fix of the bug 1357, I'll just try his for now and post back here whether it works for me or not.

Thanks all.
