John, I switched my Panoply app over to use the new NJ-2.2.16 last night and since then it has been firing off a warning message whenever it opens a dataset. Specifically, I am getting: Jun 8, 2006 9:03:18 PM ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile <clinit>WARNING: Cant load class: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ucar.bufr.BufrInputIn order to keep the application download time small, I have avoided linking extra libraries into Panoply unless they are necessary, to the functionality. I can make the above error go away by simply linking in the "bufr.jar" file which has appeared in the latest NJ-2.2 distro, but I'm wondering what is in that jar that I might actually need? I haven't yet encountered any actual error that seems to arise from not including it, so for the moment the warning is only irritating. rbs -- Robert B.

Hi Robert:We will remove the WARNING message, so you can choose to not load the bufr librray if you dont need it. It will have to wait till next week until im back in the office ( You might want to send messages to address@hidden in the future, to avoid delays when im out of the office). Thanks for reporting the problem.
