[netcdf-java] adding new variable to existing netcdf file ...

[John Caron]

Hi Ufuk:

  /**
   * Open an existing Netcdf file for writing data. Fill mode is true.
   * Cannot add new objects, you can only read/write data to existing Variables.
   */
  static public NetcdfFileWriteable openExisting(String location) throws IOException;

We are looking at the possibility to change this, but for now you cant add or modify the metadata. You have to rewrite the entire file. ucar.nc2.FileWriter is one way to do that.
