As the error message indicates. You have vtkPanel.class in the wrong place 
in the vtk.jar. vtkPanel should be in the root of the vtk.jar file, seems 
that you have it inside subdirectory vtk. (yes, it is a bit confusing, 
vtkPanel is in 4.0 treated different then most other VTK Java classes).

I am not sure what cone.java is, but you may have with lack of case 
sensitivity in Windows file name handling. Unlike Windows, Java can see 
difference between small and capital letters in file names. Probably inside 
cone.java you have class Cone. You may need to rename cone.java to 
Cone.java to avoid confusion.

Hope this helps,
