Render widgets in OpenGL canvas in Java

Question

Is it possible with Java (and any widget toolkit: AWT/Swing/SWT/...) to render widget within an OpenGL canvas, applying transformations to them while retaining their functionalities and event reactions?

Update: Haven't been many updates to the project. Might be dead, but might be enough for your needs.

I haven't tried it myself but probably better to try this first than cook up your own. If you're going to try your own, I'd go with Swing since it's all internally rendered. The transforms and events will prove tricky especially if you're going beyond 2d opengl.
