DirectX With Java?

I'm fairly new to the 3D Game Design world and was trying to learn it. All the books I have use C++ and either OpenGL or DirectX. I know some OpenGL that I used with both JOGL and LWJGL, but nothing serious. It's not that I don't want to learn C++ yet, but it's more so that I desire to stick with JAVA for awhile until I'm more comfortable with 3D stuff.

That being said, is there any way to use DirectX with JAVA? I wanted to compare and contrast that and OpenGL myself first-hand. Any responses are appriciated, thanks.
