Hi Mark,
I have just downloaded the latest vtkNightly source files, and compile
with Java options...

No problem compiling and linking into DLL, lib files, and VC++ managed
to jar those .class files into vtk.jar.  I even manage to compile
successfully with VolumePro with a little fiddling about that bit...

As I mentioned in the mail earlier, there is NO vtkPanel, vtkCanvas or
any vtkInternalFrame being compiled within VC++... I need to compile
those files manually, and jar into vtk.jar manually...

Hmm... very weird about your case where VC++ actually tried to compile
vtkCanvas, vtkPanel

Did the VC++ managed to generate a copy of vtk.jar?  If it does, why
don't you try to compile vtkCanvas, vtkPanel youself manually, and see
what happen?
