you need the dimension time to be shared, so change to
Dimension time = file.addDimension("time", 4, true, false, false);
is there any good reason for a dimension not to be shared?
from a documentation point of view, having two unrelated dimensions with
the same name
sounds like a bad thing.
I would reccomend to always make dimensions shared, the only possible exception
is for char[] lengths.
The reason its there is to support other file formats that often dont share
dimension, eg HDF.
So use:
public Dimension addDimension(String dimName, int length);
unless its the unlimited dimension, in which case you need the other one.
