I believe the trick here is:  in <java-home>/java/vtk (where all the
Java-wrapped vtk classes live, i.e.  vtk3DSImporter.java, etc.),
you simply do a "javac *.java" and then move/copy all the .class(es) to an
approp java dir (e.g., /usr/local/jdk1.1.3/vtk).

(guess you know jdk1.1.7 is available; even 1.2 though I've tried it)
