I understand that JOGL has passed JSR and will eventually be part of the standard JDK. Does anyone know what version of Java this will happen? Do I have to wait unitl Dolphin to stop shipping my app with a native code component?

There is no timeline for bundling JOGL into the JDK. There are actually advantages for unbundling it including that it can more easily be updated separately from the JDK.
Java Web Start and JNLP files hide enough of the application deployment process that the fact that JOGL contains native code should not be much of an issue.
FYI, the JSR is currently entering the public draft review phase so isn’t complete yet.
