[vtkusers] Problem with VTK using Java

[Ken Martin]

The Java (and Tcl and Python) bindings produce type conversion functions 
for all the classes that are wrapped. So if you pass a vtkPolyData into a 
method that takes its superclass vtkPointSet it should still work. The 
error you are reporting would indicate that the class you are trying to 
pass as an argument into a method, is not a subclass of the method's 
argument type. For example, passing vtkStructuredPoints into a method that 
takes vtkPointSet. If you believe that your class is correctly subclassed 
then look at the generated vtkYourClassJava.cxx file (under 
vtkbin/.../vtkjava/src) and make sure it looks reasonable.
