[vtkusers] Problems Installing vtk 4.2 with Java -- Please Help!

[R K Shyam Prakash]

Prabhakar,
		For me it doesn't seem to be a vtk problem. All you
should do is

java -classpath .;c:\vtk\vtk.jar Cone   (I am assuming vtk.jar is at
c:\vtk. You can replace it with the actual path)

and you should have the program up and running.
