Is it easy to host our own jar files, or do you need to use 
www.ibiblio.org?

That sounds great. One question, how does versioning work around 
dependencies? For example, version 2.2.17 has somewhat different 
dependencies than 2.2.16.

ok, heres the scoop for version 2.2.16

We create the following jar files:

  ncCore-2.2.16.jar        just the core netcdf-java classes
  netcdf-2.2.16.jar        complete netcdf-java, except for the UI and optional libraries
  netcdfUI-2.2.16.jar      complete netcdf-java including the UI, without optional libraries
  toolsUI-2.2.16.jar       complete netcdf-java including the UI and optional libraries
  nc2.2.jar                library that can be used in the IDV

The optional libraries:

  bufr.jar                    required to read Bufr datasets
  commons-httpclient          required to read files remotely over HTTP
  commons-logging, codec      required by commons-httpclient
  gnu-regexp                  required by dods; dods library itself is now directly contained in netcdf
  grib.jar                    required to read Grib-1 or Grib-2 datasets
  jdom.jar                    required to read thredds catalogs, and read NcML
  jpeg2000.jar                required to read Grib-2 JPEG2000 compressed files
  nlog4j.jar                  log4j logging. Alternately, you can use any slf4j implementation.
  visadNoDods.jar             required to read ADDE datasets; this version has the dods libraries removed
  xercesImpl.jar              required to validate thredds catalogs (jdk 1.4 only)
  xml-apis.jar                required by xerces library

  prefsAll.jar                required for UI state persistence, related widgets
  resourcesOptional.jar       optional detailed maps and tables

The dependencies are somewhat complicated by that fast that you can 
leave out the optional libraries if you dont need the feature. In what 
follows I will assume you want all the optional features. So a 
dependency graph would be:

jar

 library		depends on 
  ncCore-2.2.16.jar        none
  netcdf-2.2.16.jar        bufr, commons-httpclient, gnu-regexp, grib.jar, jdom.jar, visadNoDods.jar, xercesImpl.jar (jdk1.4 only)  
  netcdfUI-2.2.16.jar      same as netcdf-2.2.16.jar, plus prefsAll.jar, resourcesOptional.jar
  toolsUI-2.2.16.jar       none, its all in one big jar 
  nc2.2.jar                none other than whats already in the IDV

  grib.jar		   jpeg2000.jar	
  xercesImpl.jar	   xml-apis.jar
  commons-httpclient 	   commons-logging, commons-codec
