I think a number of my problems are related to the handling of ./atomic/jogl-fonts-p0.jar, but I don't see any good explanation of how it should be used.

At some point in the distant past, I determined that I needed to include that directory in my jogl (2.3.2 OCT10) library, and everything seemed to work fine. Now, it seems to be associated with all sorts of curious behavior and crashes depending upon the OS, development environment, and Java version.

For instance, Netbeans 8.2 is not copying it into the dist/lib directory because it is a directory. I need to include it directly as a .jar in the library to compile. I get more-or-less silent runtime errors (program still runs) if the directory is not in ./dist/lib (or if I move it there after compiling), but its use in j3d generates runtime errors (crash to command line) under openjdk 1.8, but not oracle jdk jave 1.8.

So a) how should I be using this directory and/or file?
Or b) where can I look to find this information?

I think if I can solve this mystery, I can be at least up-to-date with my problems of running under openjdk except for warnings. Probably about time I learned the proper location/use of this.

As always, TIA
