[vtkusers] Getting started with Java in VTK

[Jonathan Morra]

After some tinkering I was able to get a simple Java program that will
display the 3 planes that I want in a JFrame.  Now I need to figure out how
to combine Java's click handling with VTK's click handling.  Again, does
anyone have an idea of where to start?
