That's a good idea.  From the nightly builds, you can see that vtk
builds on many Macs every night.   I'd start by using the same settings
as one of those builds and make sure that much works.  This build of
mine builds with java support:

carbon/20070116-0300-Nightly/Notes.html>

You should be able to build with those settings.  From there, you can
tweak things to your liking and see if/when something breaks.

Well, what is your end goal?
