Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
On determining whether to output values, NcMLWriter does a Variable.isMetadata() check, so I went looking for a hook here. Unfortunately there is no setIsMetadata method on VariableIF, no ability to do "Variable.isMetadata = true" (it's protected) and no way to over-ride NcMLWriter.writeVariable (it's private with no public api exposure).
So basically I need to code a new writer class - I just mention this because NcMLWriter really needs fixing up (plus no interface etc - ncml is useful!).
Thanks, Nick
