Hello, and thanks for reaching out.

First, can you let us know what went wrong with cfgrib+eccodes? We're curious 
and might be able to help you with that.

Can you let us know more about your workflow? Will you be processing a lot of 
data or doing this repeatedly? Depending on your needs, you might check out the 
Unidata's NetCDF-Java library, which can read GRIB files into a Common Data 
Model and provide capability to write that to NetCDF.

  Download: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf-java/
  Documentation: 
https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-java/current/userguide/index.html

I hope this points you in the right direction! Don't hesitate to follow up with 
more information. Thanks.


All the best,

Drew
