[netCDFJava #IHC-743264]: Problems reading GRIB2 files

Greetings Jeff,

You can find the tutorial here:

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

The reference docs to into a bit more detail:

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

There is a little snippet dealing specifically with GRIB files:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/formats/GribFiles.html

and the JavaDocs are here:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v4.3/javadoc/index.html

Note that the javadocs haven't updated since we did the stable 4.3 release 
yesterday, so I will try to get that updated.

We try to keep our documentation up-to-date and write as we develop; is
there something in particular you are looking for?

Cheers!

Sean
