3D graphics in Java. What program/engine to use?

Question

Java

I have been creating programs (mostly games) in Java for quite some time now. Previously, I only created games with 2D graphics and I want to try myself in 3D, but I can’t find a good engine / training for creating 3D graphics in Java. What do you recommend? If you can recommend something, please also leave a link to a site where you can learn it, and it is desirable to clarify how long it needs to be studied in order to create the first 3D games. Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I am not an expert in this area, but if you need Java specifically, I can recommend the following engines and frameworks:
Desktop/Android/BlackBerry/iOS/HTML5 Java game development framework
https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com
Lightweight Java Game Library
https://www.lwjgl.org/
JMonkeyEngine
https://jmonkeyengine.org/
But if you want to develop games professionally, then as far as I know, now it is:
Unity (JP - C #)
Unreal Engine (JP - C ++)
