There is no direct analog. GLUT associates OpenGL more or less directly with a display window.

With JOGL, you create a canvas, then associate the canvas with the window. Creating the canvas looks something like this: 

    GLProfile profile = GLProfile.getDefault();
    GLCapabilities capabilities = new GLCapabilities(profile);
    GLCanvas canvas = new GLCanvas(capabilities);

After that, the details vary depending on the window toolkit (AWT, SWT, Swing, etc.) you're going to use. There's not much difference between Swing and AWT: you create a frame, add the canvas to the frame, and add an EventListener for OpenGL events (reshape, draw, etc.) As I recall, SWT changes things a bit more, but it's been long enough that I don't remember the details.
