[netCDFJava #CJU-478813]: gribtonc replacement

I was able to convert, but i had to rename the file. likely the shell doesnt 
like the "+" in the filename.

$ java -Xmx1g -classpath netcdfAll-4.3.jar ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset -in 
nick.grib -out outfile.netcdf

this was with version 4.4.0. If you still have a problem, i need to know 
exactly what version; you can find that inside the jar file in the META-INF 
directory.
