Hi Mark,
In order to get the vtkCanvas compile properly, you have to make sure
the relevant vtkPanel.class, vtkPanel$1.class &
vtkPanel$WindowObservable.class (class generated after compiling
vtkPanel.java) are jarred within the vtk.jar

To do so, we use need to be <vtkNightSource
directory>\VTK\Wrapping\Java  (one level above vtk directory that
contains vtkPanel classes)
c:\<java directory>\bin\jar.exe uvf c:\vtk40\bin\vtk.jar vtk/*.class

After we had jarred up, we can then compile the vtkCanvas using:
c:\<java directory>\bin\javac.exe -classpath
$CLASSPATH;c:\vtk40\bin\vtk.jar;. vtkCanvas.java

Note: Without jar those vtkPanel classes into the vtk.jar, the vtkCanvas
can't find it, as it need to look into vtk/ sub-folder...

After you had compiled the vtkCanvas, you can again jar up ALL the
vtkCanvas generated classes.  You can use that for compiling all
vtk-java samples...

Hope that help... Let me know if you have any problem...
