jMonkey is an full 3D engine with mappings for OpenGL.  It's probably 
gross overkill for your app, but if you scroll down on the links below, 
it lists Swing and Android compatibility, so if you're doing really 
heavy graphics rendering, it's a least something to consider.

I cannot say how *well* it supports either, however.
