[vtkusers] Java VTK Windows Error

[Richard Haney]

Please Help,

I am trying to compile the test.java file on Windows XP using j2sdk1.4.0 and 
VTK and have run into a problem.

I downloaded and installed vtk-4.2-LatestRelease.zip and used CMake (latest 
version) to build the files. I set the configurations for CMakeSetup to be 
VTK_WRAP_JAVA=ON, VTK_USE_HYBRID=ON, VTK_USE_RENDERING=ON, and 
VTK_SHARED_LIBS=ON. I then used MS Visual C++ 6.0 to load the resulting 
project file VTK.dsw. Once loaded via msdev, I selected ALL_BUILD project 
and built the VTK. The build seemed to go well, the vtk.jar file was 
created.

The problem occurs when I try and compile test.java I get an error saying 
that the "import vtk.* package can't be found". I did a search on my system 
for "vtkjava.dll" and could not find this file.

A snippet of info from "ALL_BUILD.html" reveals the following:
--------------------Configuration: VTKJavaJar - Win32 
Debug--------------------

Command Lines
Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build 
'C:\VTK\bin\vtk.jar.rule'

Creating temporary file "C:\TMP\RSP99E.bat" with contents
[
@echo off
C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\jar.exe -cvf C:/VTK/bin/vtk.jar -C C:/VTK/java vtk
]

Has anyone out there ran into this problem before, and if so how did you 
resolve it?

Many Thanks to anyone who has an idea as to why this problem is occurring.



Thanks,
