[netCDFJava #VGQ-678069]: Tools UI doesn't show the attributes from a DAP access

I thought you were with HDF group, not OPeNDAP so was unaware that you were
working on this.

At the moment, there is no way for a user to figure out what specific attribute 
caused the failure. This is because the DAS parser is not properly built to 
deal with this.
The same is true of the DDS parser. So, fixing it requires modifying the DAS 
(and DDS) parser to catch selected kinds of errors and save them for reporting 
after the parse is done. The issue is resources: fixing this is not high 
priority since bad attributes like this are not common. Sorry about that. You 
should, however, report a github issue 
(https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/issues) so that at least we do not forget 
about it.
