Just to say a word about Cassandra

Cassandra include a VTK 5.x or VTK 4.2, but this VTK can be replaced by your own specialy if you provides the Java Wrapping.
If so, you will just need to update the launch file and the property file used to defined the class path. (If you need a more detailed information, feel free to ask this question on the Cassandra forum: http://dev.artenum.com/projects/cassandra/forum).

The only limitation is regarding the Binary package of Cassandra be sure to download the cassandra compiled for VTK 5.X if you have a VTK 5, and Cassandra compiled with VTK 4.2 if you have a VTK 4.x.

Cassandra do not provides yet a graphical view for all the VTK objects, but provides a Python console with auto-completion that can be used to dynamicaly build your pipeline by executing scripting file or command line.
Same as before feel free to ask more question about it on the Cassandra Forum.
