Hi mohamad,
Currently, VisAD doesn't provide a file adapter for general HDF
files. However, there is an adapter for HDF-EOS files. HDF-EOS
is the official data format of NASA's EOSDIS data production and
archive. It (HDF-EOS) is essentially standard HDF with special
data types, conventions, and metadata added. Unfortunately, the
API which NASA created for this format isn't officially supported
on NT.
NCSA does provide a Java interface to the HDF Library, see
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/
for details on HDF, and
http://ulabibm.gsfc.nasa.gov/hdfeos/workshop.html
for details on HDF-EOS.
