Compiler error suggests that you do not have vtkConeSource in your 
classpath. A strange thing is that must have something in from 'vtk' 
otherwise you will get compilation error at 'import vtk.*;'

Verify the classpath you program is seeing by adding following to your code:
System.out.println("classpath="+System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
And rerun you code.

If you do not see vtk.jar in the classpath. Then that is what you are 
missing. Add it and ignore rest of this message :)

If you see vtk.jar in the classpath then since you did not get compilation 
error at 'import vtk.*;' chances are that you have an incomplete vtk.jar. 
Check if you have vtkConeSource in subdirectory vtk in the vtk.jar (You can 
open a jar file with JBuilder, that is probably the easiest way. You can 
also with WinZip or using command prompt 'jar -tvf vtk.jar').

Hope this helps to get you on track,
