<http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/index.html>Also, if you're interested in rapid development, and are new to Java, you might consider using the Jython approach. Our work here shows that development of even large applications is expedited using this approach. You may need to (later) convert some of the Jython methods or sections of code into Java for performance (iterations seems to be the big issue).

Hi Felix, The code for importing from HDF5 to VisAD was written by the HDF team at NCSA. It does note support all HDF5 files, only a (small) subset, and it require the HDF5 native libraries (written in C++). The installation for these libraries changed since they first wrote their HDF5 importer - I wouldn't know how to install them any more. We recommend using netCDF instead of HDF, if at all possible. The netCDF importer was written by the netCDF team at Unidata, who have been partners in the VisAD development. It is pure Java, supports all netCDF files, and works very well. Good luck, Bill
