[vtk-developers] Problems installing VTK

Hello,

I decided not to install Visual Studio Express, as according to the
website Visual Studio Pro was used, which is exactly what I've been
using.

Anyway, I created a new build folder and repeated the whole process
from scratch.  The error I'm still getting is:

117>Link:
117>     Creating library C:/VTK/lib/Release/vtkRenderingCoreJava.lib
and object C:/VTK/lib/Release/vtkRenderingCoreJava.exp
117>vtkRenderWindowJava.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external
symbol __imp__JAWT_GetAWT at 8 referenced in function
_Java_vtk_vtkPanel_RenderCreate at 12
117>C:\VTK\bin\Release\vtkRenderingCoreJava.dll : fatal error LNK1120:
1 unresolved externals
124>  Generating Code...
117>
117>Build FAILED.

which is almost certainly due to Visual Studio trying to use 64 bit
Java, which is incompatible with the 32 bit code it generates.  I was
unaware that Visual Studio has to use Java.  This should be easy to
fix by setting the path it uses to a 32 JVM.

In addition, there are two other errors which appear to be related to
the components VTK_JAVA_SWT_COMPONENT and VTK_JAVA_SWT_COMPONENT
checked in the DMake window, which seem not to be installed in my
system.  What do they do, and are they needed for what I want to do?
If so, I need to find out how to install them, otherwise they can
presumably be ignored.
