vtkJava on Solaris

[Daniel J. Blezek, Ph.D.]

Hi Sathya and Randy,

  Your milage may vary, but the easier way to do this is in the user.make
file, set the line:

JAVA_CLASS_HOME=/local/skrishna/vtk/java -classpath /local/skrishna/vtk/java


Then when javac runs, it will have the appropriate CLASSPATH set, i.e. to
where all the vtk*.java files are.  javac is also smart enough to compile
the super-classes as needed.  Thus in the line below vtkProp.java will be
compiled immediately as it is found in vtkActor2D.java, and then the
compile will return to vtkActor2D.

I'm going to add the -classpath variable to the Kits.make file, and check
it in.  The java make stuff has been working very well for me, so I'll
commit the changes.  Sathya, you can check out the nightly build tonight,
and you should have better luck.
