It's the netCDF-Java library available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java

The gempak file reading is part of the netCDF-Java library in the 
ucar.nc2.iosp.gempak package.  The writing is in the ucar.nc2.dt.grid
package.  I've attached a sample program that will read the file
and write it out as netCDF.
