An interesting development is the Java Shader Language used by the effects
framework in JavaFX:
"JSL is simliar in syntax to GLSL/HLSL/Cg, but in practice it's closer
to Cg in that it can be compiled down into various targets (GLSL,
HLSL, Java, C, etc)."[1]
Unfortunately, it seems like there are no plans to expose it as a public API.

Available in JavaFX. Hopefully it will trickle down to the plain JDK in JDK7.
Best,
