Hi Steve:The older ucar.netcdf.RandomAccessFile is used by the visad package, which is why it appears in the ToolsUI jar. It is no longer supported, and is not part of the Netcdf-Java library. So you should definitely switch to ucar.unidata.io.RandomAccessFile
For comments of general interest, send to this group (netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Otherwise send to support-netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Steve Loch wrote:
If you use toolsUI-2.2.18.jar you discover that there are two RandomAccessFile classes but only one in the Javadoc. It would seem (I haven't looked at the source code) that ucar.netcdf.RandomAccessFile might be very similar to ucar.unidata.io.RandomAccessFile which is in the Javadoc.The former has been around a long time and I was wondering whether I should convert to using the one in the later package - pretty much mandatory given that there wouldn't be documentary support for the earlier version. I note it doesn't support a java.io.File argument constructor. Neither has a setLength which is in java.io.RandomAccessFile which I would find handy. Also I note that netcdf-2.2.18.jar, unlike toolsUI, doesn't include the earlier version. Can someone advise?
