It looks like you are trying to use old example code with a new
library that uses a different interface.  Since the new version has no
MultiArrayProxy class, you are getting the error message.

DumpNetcdf.java was originally an example program for using the Java
version 1 interface, which we no longer recommend.  The Java version 2
interface is more efficient, simpler, and provides better support for
remote access.  I've annotated the example programs for version 1 that
are still on the web with a note to use the version 2 interface
instead.

The source for DumpNetcdf.java using the version 2 interface is at:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-java/manual.htm#_Toc512937609

which is in the NetCDF Java (version 2) User's Manual, available in
HTML, Word, and PDF form from the "User's documentation" links at
