[vtkusers] VTK+JAVA Crash in mouse events

[Jeff Lee]

I think the main problem was that your actors were getting gc'ed while 
the mouse was moving.  You should be careful to remove actors from the 
renderer which might be garbage collected for any reason.  Furthermore, 
you were creating a new plane widget every time the action was triggered 
- was that your intent?  If so, you need to remove the old one from the 
renderer first.  In the future, if you see this type of behavior, it is 
almost guaranteed to be related to some object unwittingly being a 
candidate for garbage collection, and the object gets deleted while 
still in the renderer.  I attached a better-behaving version of your 
code, but it may not be what you intended.
