visad.data.DefaultFamily has a buildList() method which creates the list
of Forms. Add an import statement at the top of the file, some code like:
try {
list[i] = new HDF5Form();
i++;
} catch (Throwable t) {
}
near the end of that method, recompile, and the Spreadsheet should magically
start reading HDF5 files.
DefaultFamily is sort of my responsibility (I wrote it and I don't think
anyone else would want to claim it :-), so feel free to ask me any
questions about it.
