[vtkusers] combine vtkjava bindings with swig wrapper

[Steffen Brinkmann]

Hi again,
in case I didn't describe my problem clear enough, here is a very clear post 
from 2000 about the same problem related to python instead of java:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2000-October/004660.html

There a solution was announced that would allow to generate vtk-wrapped classed 
from swig-mangled vtk pointers like:

  newObject = vtkObject(<SWIG-mangled-ptr>)

I looked around in the vtkjava wrapper to find such typecast, but couldn't find 
any.
Is it available for java? If yes, where can I find it? If no, does a work-around 
exist?

Thanks
Steffen

Subject: [vtkusers] combine vtkjava bindings with swig wrapper

Hi everybody!
Studying the wrapping technique of the java bindings to vtk showed that the 
wrapper code is generated by several C programs that have been written only for 
this purpose.
Now I have a C++ software package that outputs a number of vtk objects 
(vtkPolyDataSet, vtkStructuredGrid, ...). I would need a java wrapper of this 
package, which I'd like to generate using SWIG, and I would like to display the 
vtk objects that are produced by the package directly with the help of the 
default vtk java bindings.

How can I write the SWIG interface definition so that the produced vtk java 
objects are compatible with the default vtk java bindings?

Thanks
Steffen
