The current maven design uses ibiblio.org as a starting point, so while
it's technically possible to host elsewhere, the nett effect of doing this
means people will assume the jar is not available.

Each published jar defines both the name and version of each of it's
dependencies in a "project object model" file. Should an end user indicate
to maven that they want to use v2.2.17 instead of v2.2.16, maven downloads
the new pom file, sees new dependencies are being used, and downloads
those new dependencies automatically.

The project I am working on uses the netcdf v2.1 jar file - do you have
the dependancy tree of the files in the v2.1 tree?
The full recipe for publishing to www.ibiblio.org is here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ibiblio-upload.html
Essentially, you submit your released packaged jar along with a pom.xml
file, which for ncCore-2.2.16 might look like this:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>edu.ucar</groupId>
<artifactId>ncCore</artifactId>
<version>2.2.16</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>Core netcdf-java classes</name>
<url>http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/</url>
<description>Just the core netcdf-java classes.</description>

</project>
And for netcdf-2.2.16 might look like this:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>edu.ucar</groupId>
<artifactId>netcdf</artifactId>
<version>2.2.16</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>Complete netcdf-java, except for UI and optional</name>
<url>http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/</url>
<description>Complete netcdf-java, except for the user interface
and the optional libraries.</description>

Is the visad project also a ucar.edu project?
