I decided to use JOGL for game development over many other choices. So I installed the netbeans ogl pack and it too care of everything for me great even installed the dev libs for me and works right out of the box. Now the question when new jogl dev libs come out with the ogl pack auto update me to those new libs?
yes if we upload a fresh JOGL module and you do a clean build after updating the module you will have new JOGL libs in your build. (currently JOGL 1.1.1rc8)
if you want faster iterations you will have to do the following:
-update the jogl distribution in this folder: [userhome]/.netbeans/6.x/jogl-runtime/
-restart NetBeans (recommended to prevent unsatisfied link errors in some situations)
If you are not sure which version is currently in use check the Tools | OpenGL Capabilities viewer.
Thank you that is awsome. If I want to utilize web start for the apps do I need to do anything special?
if you use the latest version of the gl pack you don’t have to do anything special. Just enable webstart in the properties of your project.
if you experience any problems in this area tell us please. I have rewritten the jogl deployment code path last week and Mathias has recently added the webstart support. Bugs are possible 
Thanks for all your answers I appreciate it. Good community going on here I like that.
