[vtkusers] Catching VTK exceptions in Java

[Jeff Lee]

On second thought, mabey it isn't a good thing to have in vtk itself, 
but is more appropriate in your application code.  I was just thinking 
of some obscure compiler that vtk supports which doesn't support 
exception-handling.  Mabey that is the reason why things like this don't 
already exist in vtk.
