[netcdf-java] Calendar systems

Hi John (and list),

Can Java-NetCDF handle the different calendar systems that CF defines
(e.g. 360 day)?  Looking at CoordinateAxis1DTime, a time axis can be
represented as a java.util.Date array, but I can't see a way to relate
this to a calendar system (a java.util.Date is essentially a wrapper
for a number of milliseconds since the epoch).  The Joda-time library
provides a different DateTime class that links to different calendar
systems (which they call Chronologies) - could this be useful?

Cheers, Jon
