Netcdf-Java version 2.2 (alpha) is now available at:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/index.html#v22
The latest version of the NetCDF-Java library implements a "Common Data
Model" (CDM), a merger of the NetCDF, OpenDAP and HDF5 data models. It
is a prototype for the NetCDF-4 project, which provides a C language API
for the data access layer of the CDM, on top of the HDF5 file format. It
also is a 100% Java framework for translation of other file formats into
netCDF, where the actual writing of the netCDF file is optional.
Currently we are reading NetCDF, HDF5, OpenDAP, Grib1, Grib2, NexRAD
level 2, DMSP, and GINI. NexRAD level 3 (NIDS) is in progress. Other
formats and access protocals, including McIdas ADDE, are being
evaluated. We will support reading and writing to NetCDF-4 when that
file format is ready.
Early versions of the code and documentation are available now, but some
of the APIs are not yet stable. Please try this out and send feedback.
This is an alpha-quality release. We are targeting a beta release in
February 2005 and a production release in summer 2005. Please direct
questions to netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
