JSR 239 provides a Java language interface to the open standard OpenGL ES graphics API.
OpenGL ES is a standard API for 3D graphics, a subset of OpenGL, which is pervasive on desktop computers.
JSR 239 defines the Java programming language bindings for two APIs, OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES) and EGL. EGL is a standard platform interface layer. Both OpenGL ES and EGL are developed by the Khronos Group http://khronos.org/opengles/
.
While JSR 184 (which is object oriented) requires high level functionality, OpenGL is a low-level graphics library that is suited for accessing hardware accelerated 3D graphics.
