[netCDFJava #VRE-280309]: Problem converting NcML to NetCDF

<aggregation dimName="ocean_time" type="joinExisting">
  <netcdf 
location="http://omglnx1.meas.ncsu.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/models/GOMTOX/2008/avg/avg_gom_0036.nc";
 coordValue=" 4724233380 4724278140 "/>
</aggregation>

does not restrict to the first 2 indices of the time dimension.

So the real bug is here:

   float u(ocean_time=2, s_rho=36, eta_u=254, xi_u=223);

where it looks like it did what you wanted. I will have to see if I can fix 
that.

This sort of seems seems to work, though its not a general solution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"; 
location="http://omglnx1.meas.ncsu.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/models/GOMTOX/2008/avg/avg_gom_0036.nc";
 >
  <dimension name="ocean_time" length="2"/>
</netcdf>

the result i got had 3 times, im not sure why.
