Re: netCDF Java - define variables without a dimension

A scalar variable can be defined with an empty list of dimensions, eg, in 
NetcdfFileWriteable:

/**
   * Add a variable to the file. Must be in define mode.
   * @param varName name of Variable, must be unique with the file.
   * @param dataType type of underlying element
   * @param dims list of Dimensions for the variable, must already have been added. Use a list of 
length 0
   *   for a scalar variable.
   */
  public void addVariable(String varName, DataType dataType, ArrayList dims);
