I am looking for someone to explain to me how to install Jogl on my Ubuntu-system because I cannot figure it out on my own.

The install is almost the same for all operating systems and for most of third party libraries written in Java, take the archive (7z), extract the JARs from it, put them into the classpath and don't forget to use this classpath correctly when compiling and executing your application(s). I gave you a link to our wiki and to a tutorial explaining in details how to install JOGL, what is missing? I gave you several command lines to install JOGL, compile and run an application using it. JOGL 2.0 supports OpenGL-ES:

JOGL provides full access to the APIs in the OpenGL 1.3 - 3.0, 3.1 - 3.3, ≥ 4.0, ES 1.x and ES 2.x specification as well as nearly all vendor extensions

Since I want to experiment with OpenGL ES I need a stable reference implementation that I can program against.

JOGL 2.0 is stable.

I understand that you have done a lot for Jogl. Maybe you know people who work OpenGL ES. How about a java-implementation called Jes?   :)

We work for OpenGL-ES too. Several years ago, their were 2 separate bindings, JOGL 1 and JOGL-ES but they have been merged into one, JOGL 2.0. JOGL 2.0 has an homogeneous support of both OpenGL and OpenGL-ES. When you want to use the latter rather than the former, you simply have to get a specialized GL implementation:
final GL2ES2 gl = GLContext.getCurrentGL().getGL2ES2();

There is no specific install for Ubuntu, the general install just works.
