[netCDFJava #VSP-832015]: ncdf4: filling empty object with data?

Hi Tom:

Typically you have to create an IOSP for this kind of thing. See Section 4 of:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/tutorial/index.html

If you know what you are doing, you can create the Dimensions, Variables,
Attributes, etc. Data values must be stored in memory with Variable.setCache().
We dont have any docs for this "on-the-fly" creation, so i would recommend
implementing an IOSP, which will be easier in the long run.
