[vtkusers] Compiling VTK/Java/Windows/VisualSudio

[Shawn Ericson]

David,

The error message depends on the version I am using. Since I've gone 
through several iterations, I don't have the exact errors but will post 
what I remember. If that is not enough I will work on recompiling and 
get the exact error messages to you later.

On the 5.0.3 release the error I got referred to a failure in, or 
failure to find, cl.exe
On the cvs version that I downloaded yesterday the first error message 
is on Java compiling and the inability to find vtkAbstractArray (yes, I 
have my classpath set, and looking at <root>/java/vtk there is no .java 
file for vtkAbstractArray, only .rule files).

As an aside, on one of my many iterations to try to get this to compile, 
I tried cheating a little bit and had some success (though not 
completely). I had all my java source files built from my Linux 
installation. I copied them over to the appropriate Windows directory 
and recompiled wil MSVS. After several recompilations it finally 
completed without error. Unfortunately, there must be some basic 
differences between that java source code and the cxx source because 
some of the java wrapper calls appeared inconsistent when I tried to run 
my application. My point is, it all seems to boil down to a lack of 
.java source file generation.

Anyway, let me know if you need me to recompile and capture the exact 
errors and I'll get that done.

Thanks,
Shawn
