Announcing the release of the netCDF-Java library version 2.1 (beta).
See: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-java/
Important Changes from version 2.0
* NcML support: The core library supports writing netCDF metadata
into base NcML.
* The ucar.nc2.dataset.conv packages extracts coordinate system
semantics from netCDF files using netCDF Conventions, and can
write the information to XML using the NcML Coordinate Systems
extension.
* The ucar.nc2.dataset.grid package uses the coordinate system
information to provide an API for georeferenced gridded variables.
* The ucar.nc2.dataset package allows you to create virtual netCDF
datasets, including aggregating individual netCDF files, using the
NcML Dataset extension.
* The netCDF-OpenDAP library has been significantly improved to
allow full access to OpenDAP datasets though an extended netCDF
API . Most of the OpenDAP data model is also available through the
normal netCDF API, with user control over how thats done. Caching
strategies have been added to improve performance.
