Hi

Several free open source first person shooters use JOGL including jogl-shooter and TUER (mine). The way you get events depends on the canvas you use. Please look at my Ardor3D renderer based on JOGL 2, you will see how I do that with AWT and NEWT :

Of course you don't need to add any new API to do that, it has worked fine for years, it is a common problem.

You can use an approach based on events or JInput for JogAmp.
