You need to ask for the best 'core' or programmable GLProfile
when creating your GLCapabilities, see:

GL2ES2
  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/javax/media/opengl/GLProfile.html#getGL2ES2%28%29>

MaxProgrammable:
  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/javax/media/opengl/GLProfile.html#getMaxProgrammable%28boolean%29>

MaxProgrammableCore:
  <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/javax/media/opengl/GLProfile.html#getMaxProgrammableCore%28boolean%29>

OSX only support OpenGL >= 3.0 as core profiles.
The default GLCapabilities will result using the highest
compatibility profile, i.e. GL4bc, GL3bc or GL2.

See demo/unit-test:
