Here is a working example (Clojure source code) for inverting a matrix read 
from a netCDF file using Colt:

(ns netcdf-read
 (:import (ucar.nc2 NetcdfFile)
           (cern.colt.matrix.tdouble.impl DenseDoubleMatrix2D)
           (cern.colt.matrix.tdouble.algo DenseDoubleAlgebra)))

(defn unidata-to-colt
 [#^ucar.ma2.ArrayDouble$D2 array]
 (let [java-array-1d (.get1DJavaArray array Double)
        [rows, cols]  (.getShape array)]
   (new DenseDoubleMatrix2D rows cols java-array-1d 0 0 cols 1 false)))

(let [matrix      (with-open [ncfile (NetcdfFile/open 
"/Users/hinsen/Temp/matrix.nc")]
                    (.read (.findVariable ncfile "matrix")))
     colt-matrix (unidata-to-colt matrix)
     la          (new DenseDoubleAlgebra)
     inverse     (.inverse la colt-matrix)]
 (prn inverse))


For my current needs, conversion of 2D double arrays is sufficient, but this 
could of course be generalized to ranks 1 and 3 (that's all there is in Colt) 
and other element types.

Konrad.
