[vtkusers] Mac OS X, Java guru needed, please.

Current status:

Starting with the latest official release (NOT the CVS repository), I  
started with an "accept all defaults" build and slowly changed this  
to get to this point:

So, I'm back to square one.  Tonight, I'll try some of the fixes  
suggested in previous e-mails, having to do with specifying the path  
to the Java AWT library.

Now, at least, I have a complete log of what I did to get to this  
point, and the ONE change to ccmake's options that broke things.  The  
build immediately before this one had VTK_WRAP_JAVA  OFF, and  
everything else was exactly the same.  That build completed with no  
errors.

Java itself (jre and jdk) are running just fine (I have a number of  
Java programs developed completely on this machine - all compile and  
execute as expected).  But, I'm a novice with the Mac OS X  
conventions on where things are kept, and even more of a novice with  
ccmake and friends (so I need a lot of handholding to make changes).

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.  I'm back where I started,  
but I think I understand the mechanisms just a little bit better (so  
I might understand your suggestions) AND we have a demonstration that  
things build correctly on this machine with everything EXCEPT Java -  
and break when we turn Java on.

On the back burner, for the moment, is the question of why the  
current CVS version of the source does not compile on my machine.   
I'm (personally) not going to care about that for the moment - except  
that I don't think the suggestion "try the CVS source" will be useful.

I suspect we now REALLY need someone who knows VTK, Mac OS X, AND Java.
