[vtk-developers] Limit output of VTK wrappers

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Ken,

It already does that:

Building Java Wrappings
/home/andy/vtk/VTK-bin/Common/vtkXMLFileOutputWindowJava.cxx...
syntax error
*** SYNTAX ERROR found in parsing the header file
/home/andy/vtk/VTK/Common/vtkXMLFileOutputWindow.h before line 64 ***
make[1]: ***
[/home/andy/vtk/VTK-bin/Common/vtkXMLFileOutputWindowJava.cxx] Error 1
make: *** [default_target] Error 2

For the following change:

58:  // Description:
59:  // Put the text into the log file without processing it.
60:  virtual void DisplayTag(const char*);
61:  jdshafjah
62:
63:
64:  protected:
65:  vtkXMLFileOutputWindow() {};
66:  virtual ~vtkXMLFileOutputWindow() {};

Is that ok?
