[vtk-developers] vtk modular and java (vtkPanel) System.loadLibrary problem

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Gerrick,

thanks for getting back to me. I agree the wiki need to be better
structured. But as you noticed the Java side of it is kind of small or
inexistent.
And therefore, if you are willing to share your knowledge and
experience around your Netbean integration, creating a new wiki page
on that subject does make sense. Or if you prefer you can even write a
Source article that will be published and archived by Kitware.
