I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "without THREDDS".

The following has been supported for some time (since Bas wrote 
CrawlableDatasetDods) and still is supported:

1) The TDS will crawl OPeNDAP servers and generate catalogs using 
CrawlableDatasetDods.

2) CrawlableDatasetDods can be used programatically to crawl OPeNDAP servers.

The following will be available once it is fully implemented (on our ToDo list 
but it hasn't been at the top):

1) Crawling OPeNDAP servers to find datasets from which to build an aggregation.

In the netcdf-4.0.jar file.

Again, I'm not sure I'm understanding. Is something that was working no longer 
working?

What feature is it that you want to get going?

Sorry if I'm being a bit dense.
