Greetings Keith,

You can use netCDF-Java to read BUFR files:

NetcdfFile ncfile = NetcdfFile.open("file.bufr");

An example of this being used can be found here:

https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/blob/4.5.4/cdm-test/src/test/java/ucar/nc2/iosp/bufr/TestBufrRead.java

There can be problems if we don't have the BUFR table for your particular BUFR 
file. If that happens, please send us a copy of the bufr file and table and we 
will
see what we can do.

As for writing BUFR using Java, I am not aware of any library that can do so.

Cheers,

Sean
