open gl to jogl

I want to start getting into the jogl stuff pretty heavily.  I am currently going through a book on open gl. (the newest edition of the super bible).  As far as I understand then versions 3+ for open gl are alot different then open gl versions for 2.1 and lower, namely shaders and pipelines.  As I also understand then jogl is kind of a wrapper around open gl and calls it through the JNI platform.  I guess what I am trying to get to is does jogl support all versions of OPENGL at this time? (of course in its own java way)  So can I choose to program an application in open gl 2.0 methodology or 3.0 methodology?

Thanks
