Ahh! very good!

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:

library                depends on 
 ncCore-2.2.16.jar        none
 toolsUI-2.2.16.jar       none, its all in one big jar
 nc2.2.jar                none other than whats already in the IDV

 netcdf-2.2.16.jar        bufr, commons-httpclient-3.0, 
gnu-regexp-1.1.4, grib.jar, jdom.jar, visadNoDods.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar
                          xercesImpl.jar (jdk1.4 only)  

 netcdfUI-2.2.16.jar      same as netcdf-2.2.16.jar, plus prefsAll.jar, 
resourcesOptional.jar, nlog4j-1.2.21

 grib.jar                 jpeg2000.jar   
 xercesImpl.jar           xml-apis.jar
 commons-httpclient       commons-logging-1.0.4, commons-codec-1.3


Feel free to do whatever subset seems right. Possibly for maven 
development its sufficient to do just netcdf-2.2.16.jar and 
netcdfUI-2.2.16.jar?

In any case, thanks!

John
