OpenGL toolset for new Java/Clojure project in 2011

Question

I'm looking at starting a small OpenGL game project in Java/Clojure and trying to determine the best toolset for my needs. I have some experience with JOGL a few years ago but can see that the space has developed considerably since then.

My main requirements are:

• Access to the OpenGL libraries directly (i.e. direct rendering, not being forced to use a scene graph)
• Ability to use the library in both Java and Clojure
• Tools for the typical common tasks like loading a texture file etc.
• Reasonably well maintained with an active community

The following would be a bonus, but not essential:

• A lightweight, customizable game engine with some sort of physics support
• A properly maintained Maven repository that can handle the native components
• Ability to develop for mobile (especially Android)

What library/toolset would you recommend?

Answer 1

Worth checking out is penumbra [1] which is a wrapper around OpenGL (using LWJGL) that provides a nice lispy syntax for OpenGL calls.
