The only support we have for Wacom tables inside Java is that Inkwell
will generate input method events that will send the text written into
a Java text component. If you want any additional information about
what the user is doing on the pad you'll need to write a native library
to access the pad directly.

I don't know of any system-level mechanism for talking to the tablet.
You may want to contact DTS or Wacom for a developer kit. It's possible
there's an AppKit interface, but I'm not aware of any such thing.
