Hello all
I'm using the NetCDF library version 4.1 without the visadNoDods.jar file (this
dependency is big! 4.3Mb). In my understanding of
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/JarDependencies.html
this dependency is optional if I don't need to read McIDAS AREA files. This work
well for normal NetCDF I/O operations. But when trying to invoke the following code:
NetcdfFile.canOpen("myFile")
on any file that is not a NetCDF file (for example a PNG image), I get the
following exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: visad/util/Trace
at ucar.nc2.iosp.gempack.GempackStationFileIOSP.isValidFile:141
(...snip...)
at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.canOpen(NetcdfFile.java:412)
I can workaround with a try ... catch block. But is there any chance to have
NetcdfFile.canOpen(...) to not check file format that depends on optional JAR
files not present on the classpath?
Regards,
Martin
