Depending on what kind of 3D programming you want to do, there are a few main ways.

If you're developing short, one-off 3D projects for simple visualization, there's Java 3D: http://java3d.java.net/

If you're developing games, you can't go wrong with jME: http://jmonkeyengine.org/

If you want to learn about OpenGL, then you should use LWJGL or JOGL: http://lwjgl.org/ ; http://java.net/projects/jogl/

If you want to learn about photorealistic ray-tracing, then there are a few ray-trace engines available in Java; I haven't used any, but SunFlow looks pretty good: http://sunflow.sourceforge.net/
