[vtkusers] Problems running Java VTK on Linux, MacOS X 10.2 and Windows

[Carlos Martínez Burgos]

Hi all.

I'm using VTK on an archaeological projet to show 3D surfaces. I use the 
Java wrapper to develop, building with jdk 1.3. I compile VTK with CMake 
1.4.

Some days ago, I downloaded CVS version of VTK wich I have updated today. 
I built it without problems (using the CMakeCache.txt attached). vtk.jar 
was created but with .java files wich I removed. Then I went to 
Wrapping/Java to build vtkCanvas and vtkPanel classes.

At this moment I tried to run SimpleVTK to test. I compiled it OK and when 
I tried to run it but nothing was showed and the program didn't exit. Then 
I tried to compile and run Regression.java and 
Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Java/Cone1.java and everything wents OK so I think 
that the problem is in vtkPanel or vtkCanvas, because them don't use these 
files. Furthermore, if I build .cxx examples, everything is OK.


Linux: Has somebody the same problem? Do you know what can I do to solve 
it?


Furthermore, I try to build VTK with Java wrapping on MacOS X 10.2. It 
builds OK but I can't run it successfully. I can't run Java examples 
because the program can't find the libraries. I made the .jnilib links to 
.dylib files and I set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the bin directory of VTK 
build but it doesn't run.

I try to build the .cxx examples and everything is OK, but when I try to 
run them the window is showed but the interaction is not good. Keys does 
not function and mouse only does it using a combination of mac special key 
and shift and control keys.


MacOS X: Does somebody knows how to run VTK programs using Java wrapper on 
MacOS X?


I think that I could use Windows too, but I don't have Visual C++ so I 
download precompiled binaries (vtkNightlyCore.exe and vtkNightlyJava.exe). 
I install them and when I tried to build examples, I can't find vtk.jar 
file so I think that it is not included on the distribution. This happens 
to me from months ago, so I think that nobody uses this precompiled 
binaries.


Windows: Could somebody add the vtk.jar file to the precompiled windows 
version of VTK?


Thank you a lot and sorry for the length of the message.
