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 Robb... =============================================================================== Robb Kambic Unidata Program Center Software Engineer III Univ.

2) It appears that the grib library available at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/decoders/index.jsp doesn't work with netcdf-java 2.2. If so, is the older version of the grib library available?inside of ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf-java/v2.2.22/netcdfAll-2.2.22.zip ill check with robb if his decoders page is out of date. what error were you getting?
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.
Thank you. John Caron wrote:Hi Bob: Im not sure if you are still using netcdf-java 2.2, but if you are, could you try compiling against netcdf-java 4.0, and seeing what problems you see? We are getting ready to release 4.0, and there have been some minor API changes which Id like to know how/if they affect users. Ive started a document to guide the switch over, which ill improve after getting comments from you and others: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/transition4.html Thanks, and happy holidays.
