Java Binding for the OpenGL® ES API enables access to a low level 3D graphics library through a standard Java interface. OpenGL® is the de facto standard 3D libraries on the desktop, and with the matching OpenGL® ES specification for embedded devices, it is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for a platform independent, low level 3D API in the embedded market. Developers can leverage their knowledge of programming in OpenGL® to program rich 3D content for handheld and other embedded devices.
The Khronos Group is
responsible for defining the OpenGL® and OpenGL® ES specifications.
Specification:
JSR 239: This specification defines a Java ME optional package creating a standard Java interface into the Khronos defined OpenGL® ES 3D libraries.
Reference Implementation:
The JSR 239 reference implementation (RI) can be licensed from Sun to verify proper setup of the JSR 239 TCK. For more information about licensing terms, please send your inquiries to jsr239-request@sun.com.
For application developers wanting to test their application against a JSR 239 implementation, support is provided by the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC
Technology Compatibility Kit:
The JSR 239 technology compatibility kit (TCK) can be licensed from Sun to certify a JSR 239 implementation on a specific platform.For more information about licensing terms, please send your inquiries to jsr239-request@sun.com.
