As we have said the VGEE models are unsupported by us.  I've done some
initiali work to get these into a plugin and clean up some of the
GUI layout issues but that's about it.

Some of the models are capable of responding to real data. The ones that aren't 
will
print out the probe values.  I recall a while ago you might have mentioned
having some developer resources there that might do some work on this code.
If so, we'd more than welcome that assistance.

There are a couple of paths you could go down. First: some time ago we did some
initial work on a Jython display control. This supported a developer to specify
the type of sampled data (point, sounding, etc) required and there were hooks
to pass that back into the jython.  We never did finish this but perhaps we can
dust it off.

Secondly, you could write a Java class that fits into the VGEE framework. 
basically, there is just one VGEE  display control. It instantiates a VGEE model
and passes point or sounding data into it.  You could write your own VGEE model
class that is a wrapper around your jython.
