Hi Chris:
Im guessing you actually want the netcdf-java libraries ( I have cross
posted to netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx which is the correct email group
for that). We unfortunately dont use Maven and dont have any expertise
in it. We have had some contributed POM files by users. We would be
willing to upload jar files automaticallly if theres a simple way to do
that (add to our ant build?). Do we have to build with maven to do so?
Of course, the complication comes from the dependencies.
From your Jira entry, it seems theres some question about files vs
streams. netcdf is a random access file format. The java library does
handle streams, but only by loading it into memory, as apparently youve
discovered. If you are only interested in the metadata from netcdf-3
formatted files, all of the metadata is in the front of the file, and
its usually quite small, so one could optimize that. For HDF5/netcdf4
the metadata is usually scattered around the file, so theres no easy way
currently to optimize that. netcdf-java handles a lot of file formats,
but all are assumed to be random access.

Hi there NetCDF'ers,
We've been working [1] on integrating NetCDF support into Apache
Tika [2].
Tika uses Maven2 as its build tool, and I was having trouble
finding a copy
of the NetCDF jars in the Maven Central repos. Would you guys be
willing to
upload/publish the NetCDF jars into Maven Central so that we could
integrate
them into Apache Tika? Right now, I've worked around this problem
by using
the following external NetCDF repo [3], but as Jukka Zitting
informed me on
the Tika mailing lists, per current Maven policies, it's bad
practice to
reference external repositories in POMs meant to be released to Maven
Central [4]. It looks like you guys had some discussions about
this before
[5], but it's unclear if a consensus was reached.
Please let me know, your help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris
