Upgrading netCDF-Java

[lesserwhirls]

Greetings!

I ran into an issue a bit earlier this week that required me to recompile and build new edal-java artifacts using a newer version of netCDF-Java (in this particular case, 5.4.0-SNAPSHOT). Everything went well and didn't require any code changes within edal-java itself. I would recommend bumping to the latest release, which is 5.3.2 (note the cdm artifact has become cdm-core), and I'd be happy to make a PR for that.

Along the same lines, we are working on defining the public API for the library and have been looking for API testers:

We're keeping track of those efforts in a separate repository at the moment, and the details can be found at:

We'd love to have your input if you have any cycles to spare!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we don't have a great deal of effort available for ncWMS work at the moment. I've bumped the version in my development environment and it'll go into the next release.

We're now using 5.3.3 in https://github.com/Reading-eScience-Centre/ncwms/releases/tag/ncwms-2.5.0
