vtk5: add Java bindings

Reported by: bgschaid@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: dweber@…, petrrr
Port: vtk5

Description

What is the reason that there are no Java-bindings in the vtk5-port? Old ports of the same package (vtk-devel which is v5.4 instead of the current v5.10) at least has a variant "java".

I guess there is a good reason that these bindings are not there in vtk5, but what is it? The Cocoa/Carbon/QT4/X11-business? (that it will only work with a few of these options)

What would be the best wy to run Java-programs that require VTK5?

Anyone who wants to contribute is welcome (openmaintainer tag)...

I do know that java has a bit of a non-standard support history on Mac; I'm not sure to what extent we can assume that the java development system is installed, or how to check correctly for a runtime. Maybe something as simple as a depends bin: line?

I'm not a java user, so I (current maintainer) will not be adding this, sorry! Like I said... contributors welcome!
