'''Java OpenGL''' ('''JOGL''') is a wrapper [[library (computer science)|library]] that allows [[OpenGL]] to be used in the [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]].<ref>{{cite web

Since 2010, it has been an independent [[open-source software|open-source]] project under a [[BSD licenses|BSD license]]. It is the reference implementation for [[Java Bindings for OpenGL]] (JSR-231).

JOGL allows access to most OpenGL features available to [[C (programming language)|C]] language programs through the use of the [[Java Native Interface]] (JNI). It offers access to both the standard GL* functions along with the GLU* functions; however the [[OpenGL Utility Toolkit]] (GLUT) library is not available for window-system related calls, as Java has its own windowing systems: [[Abstract Window Toolkit]] (AWT), [[Swing (Java)|Swing]], and some [[OpenGL#Development|extensions]].
