Hello,

Are there any examples for reading and writing HDF5 and GRIB files using the
Version 2.2 java netcdf library.

Cheers,

Adit.

Hi Adit:
I'm sorry about the minimal documentation, we will start writing it as soon as we can get to beta, which may be May.
Just open HDF or GRIB like a regular netcdf file, I prefer NetcdfDataset.openFile() or NetcdfDataset.openDataset()
There can be surprising structure in these non-netcdf files. i find it useful to view files in the netcdf ToolsUI, especially the "viewer" tab.

you can't write to HDF5 or GRID, though.
