I've placed vtk.jar into <path to my java install>/jre/lib/ext/
directory since I know this is in the default classpath.  (I lied a
little - I used to be a Java developer and still remember some things
:-)

Before I did this, I was getting errors (import vtk: vtk not found types
of things).  Once I dropped it into ext/ they went away.  The errors I'm
getting now seem very much like a C++ .so library can't find something,
so it's possibly not Java-related at all but I don't want to rule
anything out.

Thanks,
Fran
