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 1.4
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.
