I have learned the basics of java, and messsed around with it for a while in a console.
Now I would like to get more into making games or applications with graphics.
After some research, I can't really figure out where to start... I have used the vertexes of openGL11/lwjgl, but I read they are deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. (?)
So I'm asking here what would be the best graphic tool for java (2D and/or 3D) to follow tutorials on, and maybe even read a book about?
It doesn't have to be the simpliest one, but the one that is the most recent with a lot of possibilities, and not deprecated.
Some good links/tutorials or your own experiences are always welcome

I learn these things in my free time, pure as hobby, so excuse my noobiness

Thanks for reading,
Hellgast
