Are you using Java 9? Could you check if Java 8 works instead? There does seem to be some JOGL bug related to Java 9, and I think it looked similar to this.

It is interesting to note that, at least in my testing, the new garbage collector they implemented in Java 9 makes the client run 10-30% slower. Not sure what to do about that.

If you're using a 64 bit operating system, yeah, you would be better off using the 64 bit version of Java for that OS unless there's some reason you just have to use the 32 bit version.
