Hi

There is an example based on JOGL here:

The use of hardware accelerated OpenGL picking is highly discouraged:

Color picking might not work on displays that "simulates" some parts of the palette.

The most reliable solution consists in using software picking with a third party library. This is a common feature in most scenegraphs including Ardor3D.

Best regards.
