[vtkusers] VTK42, Matlab (R13), Java

[Philipp.Batchelor]

I did the same, (uner linux), and encountered similar problems. I think, 
if I remember correctly, that you have to copy the vtkPanel.class to 
c:/Program Files/Vtk42/java and jar it into c:/Program 
Files/Vtk42/java/vtk.jar. Good news is I did manage to get it to work in 
the end.
