It is rather odd that after religiously following my build descriptions
you had these issues. However, glad to read that it works our after
these minor hiccups. Welcome.

Aldebaran, the following is not necessarily intended for your eyes,
especially not if you are merely a non-commercial user.
However, I need to set some curious expectations straight here.
Companies are very welcome to inquire for commercial support requests
<
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Maintainer_and_Contacts#Commercial_Support>
as this project can only be maintained by paying parties.
Otherwise there is no 'TL;DR' here to see for me or other developers.
Maven'sh builds will be provided when they are provided
and we are not on a call by fellow users :)
But what we do achieve is to produce a very reliable product across platforms,
which maybe used by anyone free of charge AS-IS
and for which companies are more than welcome to pay for support.
On another positive note, it is not our biz model to collect any data from
our users and monetize these. No GOOG nor IntelliJ effect to see here ;-)
Best regards,
