Hiya Rob,

Glad it was just a missing jar, not a bug. A side note, the grib library can 
read files with headers. For your question about getting the variables and 
dimensions, just open the file as NetcdfFile().

NetcdfFile ncfile = NetcdfFile.open(  "fileLocationHere" );
          List<Variable> vars = ncfile.getVariables();
          for( Variable var : vars ) 
            System.out.println( var.getName();    

          List<Dimension> dims = ncfile.getDimensions();
          for( Dimension dim : dims )
           System.out.println( dim.getName();

ncfile.close();

Here are some urls to documentation:

Look at NetcdfFile   Variable     Dimension as as starter.

You might also want to look at NetcdfDataset and GridDataset for more options 
on how look at the data.
