Hi Tijmen,
Have a look at this library http://www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~robin/JavaGL/
(This is an openGL bind written in pure Java).
There is an open source raytracer written in Java. I think it is called
Raja. Just type that in Google and see if you can find it.

Hope that helps.

All the best

Fidel.
