I ran:
rpmbuild --rebuild jogl-1.1b11-1fc.src.rpm

and it created three rpms:

[root at localhost temp]# ls -l /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
total 7556
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4649324 Aug 14 20:44 jogl-1.1b11-1fc.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1781057 Aug 14 20:45 jogl-debuginfo-1.1b11-1fc.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1266692 Aug 14 20:44 jogl-javadoc-1.1b11-1fc.i386.rpm

I then installed them:

[root at localhost temp]# rpm -ihv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*.rpm

[root at localhost temp]# rpm -qa | grep -i jogl
jogl-1.1b11-1fc
jogl-javadoc-1.1b11-1fc
jogl-debuginfo-1.1b11-1fc


The user guide landed here:
file:///usr/share/doc/jogl-1.1b11/userguide/index.html

And the javadocs here:
file:///usr/share/javadoc/jogl-1.1b11/index.html

I put my notes on it here:
