Hmm, first try getting a newer SDK from sun here.

The application or the vtkPanel.java file may be old in which case it may be 
calling getRenderer() instead of GetRenderer().  Otherwise try getting the 
precompiled binaries from kitware, these are somewhat older, Feb. 12th but 
on windows they work fine.  I have had some trouble in Unix with the way the 
older vtkPanel works but under windows only few problems, like not getting 
text to always work under WinNT.
