The new JOGL supports all versions of
OpenGL (1.1-2.1, 3.0-4.2 and ES1 and ES2),
where the old JOGL only supports OpenGL up to version 2.

You simply have to pick the right OpenGL profile
and you will find the OpenGL 2 enumerates (names) in GL2.

Porting to JOGL2 should be almost as easy as just replacing:
  drawable.getGL() -> drawable.getGL().getGL2()
and
  new GLCapabilities() -> new GLCapabilities(null)
