Hi Brian,

The HDF library is developed by The HDF Group, not Unidata. As far as I know, 
they have no plans to make a pure-Java implementations; only language bindings 
to the C library. We certainly don't have the resources to do that ourselves at 
Unidata either (the C lib is like 300,000 lines of code).

There is Nujan [1], which claims to write HDF5 in pure Java. I have never used 
it though.

Cheers,
Christian
