It seems to occur with Mesa 17.2.1 but not with earlier versions.

Please can you run glxinfo?
https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo/

I'll compare with the result on my machine using an older version of Mesa.

Oops, I occurred with Mesa 17.2.0 too but not with Mesa 17.1.5:
http://forum.jogamp.org/Mesa-17-2-0-renderer-driver-name-change-error-causes-GLProfile-not-mapped-initialization-error-td4038176.html

Gallium 0.4 on AMD HAWAII (DRM 3.15.0 / 4.12.12-1-ARCH, LLVM 4.0.1) -> AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (AMD HAWAII / DRM 3.15.0 / 4.12.12-1-ARCH, LLVM 4.0.1)

Using GL_VERSION might help as it should contain:
3.1 (3.1 Mesa 17.2.1)

or something like this:

3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 17.2.1

I suggest this change:
final boolean isDriverMesa = glRenderer.contains(MesaSP) || glRenderer.contains("Gallium ");

-> 

final boolean isDriverMesa = glRenderer.contains(MesaSP) || glRenderer.contains("Gallium ") || glVersion.contains(MesaSP);

It won't break non Mesa AMD drivers :) Guiseppe's second suggestion seems to be viable.

I'm out of office today and tomorrow, if needed I can give the output of glxinfo on friday morning.
I'll try the fix suggested by Julien and report back result on my environment, I think it will work.

There's no hurry. Thank you. Feel free to make a pull request (only with this tiny change) against my repository if it works as expected.

Hello,
I tested the patch proposed by Julien and Zeno and it works.

Julien, how can I pull a request against your repo ?

I did the patch on the repo that I cloned with the command: 
git clone --recurse-submodules git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/jogl.git jogl

Maybe it would be easier for you just to post here the git diff. I'll credit the change to Zeno and you.

Here it is:

Patched version of GLContextImpl

I've just patched GLContextImpl with JByteMod available at https://grax.info

Is this being put into JOGL?  It appears from comments that you have a fix, but maybe it has only been put into a patched version of the source file?

thanks

The suggested patch causes a regression on AMD Mullins and AMD Cedar whereas it's required for AMD POLARIS (10, 11, ...). I suggest this change:
final boolean isDriverMesa = glRenderer.contains(MesaSP) || glRenderer.contains("Gallium ") || (glVersion.contains(MesaSP) && glRenderer.contains("POLARIS"));

Rather do this:
final boolean isDriverMesa = glRenderer.contains(MesaSP) || glRenderer.contains("Gallium ") || (glVersion.contains(MesaSP) && glRenderer.contains("POLARIS"));

as I suggested here:
