Hi Dan,

Not very likely; we still consider it experimental.  But as Glenn says:

    A nice thing about the Java netcdf is that it more completely
    decouples the interface and the file format. I can imagine all sorts
    of data sources which implement the interface.
    I'm personally only interested in a few of them...
