You can run the basic java cone test with "ctest -R Java".

Did you remove the vtk${KIT} library prefixes because it was necessary
in order to get it to compile?  I ask because if just changing the
vtk${KIT}Java prefixes is enough, then that is an easy change for me
to push, but if you need to remove the remove all the lib prefixes,
then that is a bigger change than I would feel comfortable with.  I
don't use VTK on mingw myself, so I'd have to leave a change like that
to the experts.
