[vtkusers] New wiki Java examples

[Jim Peterson]

Seb,
Yes, the missing setVisible(true)  was it.  I see there is a 
vtkRenderWindowPanel that extends vtkCanvas. Are there any examples of 
how that would be used?  I had some success making my classes extend 
vtkCanvas and use the renderer renderwindow and interactor in the 
ancestor. I found I need to reset the camera to get a good initial view.

thanks for all your help,
Jim
