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.
