I am not sure I understand your question. Did you had a look at the 
examples in VTK:

VTK/Examples/Tutorial/Step?/Java/*.java
or some simple app like:
VTK/Wrapping/Java/SimpleVTK.java

If you want to run the test, you should really download the VTKData, 
although I guess we should not be running this test if VTKData was not 
found. I believe this is fixed in CVS anyway.

You installed VTK in /usr/local so you don't have write access -IMHO-. 
The message might be a little be more criptic but I believe this is what 
is happening ;-)
Try running the test directly from the build tree (or where you have 
write access).
