The plans I mentioned for further development of the Java interface
for netCDF have an indefinite schedule at this time, but we have
already made a release of the software (called the "current release"
on the web page

 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/java/index.html

and we are currently supporting it.  Hence any future development will
be enhancements to the current release, and will include
considerations for backward compatibility, as I mentioned in the
previous message.

Though we don't have a definite time line for more work on netCDF for
Java, you can be sure of being informed about any future test releases
or enhancements by subscribing to our netcdf-java mailing list, as
described on the web page ...
