Hello all

A couple of notes:

* I used the following version numbers, please update them as needed:
  - NetCDF: 4.2.5 (because I noticed that the last tag was 4.2.4)
  - UnidataCommon: 4.2.5
  - OpenDap: 2.2
  - Grib: 8.0.27
  - bufrTables: 2.0.1
  - visad: 2010-08-09 (seems to be the last release date)

* I had to mavenize VisAD too. In order to build, you need to
  unzip the VisAD source code in the "visad/src" directory.

* The groupID of VisAD is "edu.wisc". This is the only artifact
  which is not in the "edu.ucar" group. The "edu.wisc" groupId
  seems appropriate since this VisAD artifact is not modified
  anymore (the "dods" package is not removed).

* If VisAD is not deployed on a Maven repository elsewhere, and
  if VisAD maintainer are not willing to mavenize their project,
  it may be easier to build the whole project if the VisAD source
  code were copied on the NetCDF SVN repository.

* I had to track down some dependencies not listed on the
  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/JarDependencies.html
  page, for example jcip-annotations, which is declared as
  a Maven dependencies rather than being compiled from the
  copy in the NetCDF SVN repository.

* I tested against the trunk at revision 12812. A recent change
  commited on the NetCDF SVN last friday (the commit having the
  "good stuff" log message) break the build, apparently because
  of an API change in protobuf. I tried to upgrade the protobuf
  dependencies to 2.3.0 but still get compilation failure.

In order to test the build, please see this README file:

        Regards,

                Martin
