You shouldn't have to build from source, you can just download the latest JARs from jogamp.org instead of getting the older ones from Maven. Or alternately, I forgot who puts JogAmp stuff on Maven Central, but maybe if you look around a bit in the forums you can see who did it and ask them to put up a more recent version :)

PRs are always welcome, of course :) The high-level interface is difficult, since it's trying to convert a big bag of loose functions defined by Khronos into something that looks object-oriented. Then add to that the fact that every point revision from Khronos potentially means a new numbered version of all the CL objects, in order to keep them all separately usable, and you have to decide what version of OCL the high-level interface will represent... or do you somehow let the user pick? It almost might be easier to just use the low-level interface for everything, so that your code looks as similar to C OpenCL as possible :)
