I would like to make you aware of Brandon Borkholder's GLG2D project.
GLG2D is a Graphics2D implementation that uses OpenGL by connecting to 
the GPU using JogAmp JOGL, it implement basic Java2D drawing functionality.
GLG2D includes a modern shader based GPU implementation for fast 
rendering that work on all platforms that JogAmp JOGL support.
GLG2D is intended to be used in combination the default renderer inside 
the JDK as a fallback for functionality that is not implemented in GLG2D.

GLG2D show significant improvement to the CPU based renderers.
