Hi,

updating the bufr-tables to the latest version was easy.

You can either use "BufrTables.addLookupFile" to read them from a local file or 
you simply change the files in bufr-5.0.0.jar (or toolsUI-5.0.0-patch.jar).

Using "BufrTables.addLookupFile":
- Download BUFRCREX_32_0_0.zip from 
https://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/WMO306_vI2/LatestVERSION/LatestVERSION.html
- Extract the archive to a folder
- Create a new file "tablelookup.csv" with this content:
WMO.any, 0,     0,       -1,    0,    -1,   
/path/to/BUFRCREX_32_0_0_TableB_en.xml, wmo_xml, 
/path/to/BUFR_32_0_0_TableD_en.xml, wmo_xml
- Add the new file with this line
BufrTables.addLookupFile("/path/to/tablelookup.csv");
- Read your BUFR-Files

Since ToolsUI and NCdumpW can't be fixed with the above solution, I simply 
updated their jar-files bufr-5.0.0.jar (or toolsUI-5.0.0-patch.jar):
- Download BUFRCREX_32_0_0.zip from 
https://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/WMO306_vI2/LatestVERSION/LatestVERSION.html
- Extract the archive to a folder
- Open the desired jar-archive with 7Zip
- Extract the resources\bufrTables\local\tablelookup.csv
- Replace the WMO.any-line with this one
WMO.any, 0,     0,       -1,    0,    -1,   
resource:/resources/bufrTables/wmo/BUFRCREX_32_0_0_TableB_en.xml, wmo_xml, 
resource:/resources/bufrTables/wmo/BUFR_32_0_0_TableD_en.xml, wmo_xml

- Put the file
tablelookup.csv
to
resources\bufrTables\local\
in the jar-archive.

- Put these files
BUFR_32_0_0_TableD_en.xml
BUFR_32_0_0_TableD_en.xsd
BUFRCREX_32_0_0_TableB_en.xml
BUFRCREX_32_0_0_TableB_en.xsd
to
resources\bufrTables\wmo\
in the jar-archive.

ToolsUI and NCdumpW can now read my new bufr-files.

It would be great, if the latest bufr-tables would be added to netcdf-java. I 
could also provide a sample bufr-file.

While patching your jar-files I wondered, if all files in 
"resources\bufrTables\wmo" are still required. It looked a little bit messy to 
me in this folder.

Kind regards

Netty
