For completeness and to assist others, the following code does the trick for jogl:

joglVersionString = com.jogamp.opengl.JoglVersion.getInstance().getAttribute(java.util.jar.Attributes.Name.IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION);

System.out.print("JOGL "+ joglVersionString+" detected...\n");

The current result...

JOGL 2.1.4-rc-20131223 detected...
