There are probably some selection demos in the NeHe tutorials.
You may also want to look at the demos that ship with JOGL
(http://jogl.dev.java.net/) as they use a library called gleem,
the source code for which ships in the jogl-demos project, which
can provide at least an approximation to what you need.
