Hiya Rob,

Here's a better solution, using NamedObject instead of Object for GridDataset 
getting times.

GridDataset gridDataSet = GridDataset.open( fileName );
GridDatatype mt = gridDataSet.findGridDatatype("Minimum_temperature");
List<NamedObject> times = ((GeoGrid) mt).getTimes();
for( NamedObject t : times ) {
  System.out.println( t.toString() );
}

You also might want to look at the JavaDoc on GeoGrid.

I also forgot to mention that NetcdfFile times are offsets from the reference 
time as integers.
