Depending on exactly what you want, it may also be worth taking a look at LibGDX:
http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/ Seems like a pretty promising library, with plenty of cross platform support. Not as much of a complete game engine as jMonkeyEngine, but perhaps more in keeping with the Clojure "compose small standalone libraries" philosophy.
