[Fwd: Re: netcdf-java 4.0] (fwd)

Bob,

You are correct, the current GRIBJava.tar.gz does point to the lastest 
code that works with nj 4.0 version.

I made a nj22 version and put it on the ftp site, get either:

grib-decoder-java_6.0.0.nj22.tar.gz
or
GRIBJavaNj22.tar.gz

I think the problem is that the decoders page is very up-to-date -- to
the point that it requires netcdf-java 4.0 and no longer offers a
library compatible with netcdf-java 2.2.22.   But perhaps I'm missing
something.

The error message that occurs when using the new grib library with
netcdf java 2.2.22 is:

Using default table:resources/grib/tables/wmo_2_v3.tab (74:-1:-1)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

I looked at the source code. It appears that
ucar.grib.Index.getHorizCoordSys used to return an ArrayList, but now
returns a List.
