The current implementation of NetcdfPointDataSource uses the visad.data.netcdf.Plain class to read in the the netcdf file. It does not use the nc2 package. In the next release we are moving to the new common data model( CDM) work of the Thredds group which will be based on anew nc2 package.
Although the current version uses Plain to make the Data objects, you could open the source as a NetcdfFile also and fill in the details from that object. Note that a NetcdfDatasource can point to a set of netCDF files, so your getFullDescription should account for that.
