 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?
