Re: HDF 4 and HDF-EOS in Java netcdf 4.0!



Hi Peter:

You are very welcome! I too, have been waiting for some way to read these files 
without using the rather cumbersome HDF / HDF-EOS libraries. Finally I just 
finally did it myself, since it fit well into the cdm framework we have been 
developing.

A few caveats: I have tested against every HDF file I can get my hands on, but 
im sure there are still some problems to be found. Please try it out and send 
any problems to me. Also, identifying HDF-EOS coordinate systems is ongoing 
work which we've only just started.

I will be releasing the latest 4.0 version tommorrow, so if you are planning on 
trying it, you should download then.

Hi John,

I just noticed the note on your Java netCDF page on file format support for HDF 4 and HDF-EOS in the Java netCDF 4.0 library. I haven't tried it out yet, but I just need to say: BLESS YOU BLESS YOU BLESS YOU! Thank god someone is doing that work! I have been waiting 10 years for this!

Best regards,
Peter
