Thanks for the advice, it worked.  I got the .7z file uncompressed with a friend's help.

But it doesn't solve the problem that I hoped it would.

I identified the problem as JOGL Bug 1370 "NSWindow drag regions should only be invalidated on the Main Thread!". The behavior I saw was that the JOGL canvas was not properly drawn in its window but at some offset. And I saw this error message:

2019-11-05 09:12:40.954 java[29310:4710461] WARNING: NSWindow drag regions should only be invalidated on the Main Thread! This will throw an exception in the future. Called from (

)

Even after installing the new .dylib files and .jar files these problems remain.

Note: the distribution that I downloaded does not seem to include any awt support (The provided jar files include:
jogl-all-android-natives-macosx-universal.jar
jogl-all-mobile-natives-macosx-universal.jar
jogl-all-mobile.jar
jogl-all-noawt-natives-macosx-universal.jar
jogl-all-noawt.jar
jogl-test-android.jar)

I was not able to remove the previous jogl-all.jar (which included awt support), since otherwise I got many compile errors.

And the fact that "jnilib" appears in the stack trace above implies to me that it is also not finding the new .dylib libraries but is using the older .jnilib ones (that I tried to remove from view but perhaps are cached in some strange way or appear somewhere on the search path), perhaps because it is linking to the older jogl-all.jar file.

I appreciate any help you can provide.
