John,
This doesn’t seem like the kind of question to post to the CF board.
According to the Unidata website
_http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/_ a netCDF-3 file can
be created using NcML.  Can you create a netCDf-4 file too?
Using the NetCDF-Java library, you can also use NcML to create a new
netCDF-3 file, similar to the *ncgen* program.

 1. Using a text or XML editor, create the NcML file with an "xml" or
    "ncml" file extension. Open the NcML file with
    *NetcdfDataset.open()*, then call *ucar.nc2.FileWriter.writeFile()*
 2. In the _ToolsUI_
    
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v4.0/webstart/netCDFtools.jnlp>
    application, open an existing NcML file in the NcML tab, or create a
    new one. You can edit and save the NcML with the *"Save NcML*"
    button. You can create the equivilent binary NetCDF file with the
    *"Write NetCDF*" button.

Thanks.
