[vtkusers] Java / VTK problems

[Jeff Lee]

Perhaps some code would be in order?  I can say from experience that if you are manually
deleting vtk objects in java, bad things will happen because of the recent implementation of
weak-references in the vtk JNI.  I have not had any experiences like yours, however, but I
could look at your code.  What version of vtk?
