Welcome to the JOGL API Project!
Overview

The JOGL Project hosts a reference implementation of the Java bindings for OpenGL API, and is designed to provide hardware-supported 3D graphics to applications written in Java. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems.

JOGL provides full access to the APIs in the OpenGL 1.5 specification as well as nearly all vendor extensions, and integrates with the AWT and Swing widget sets.

Please see the JOGL demos for illustrations of advanced OpenGL techniques now possible with the Java platform.

Project Status
