It is only version 4. A lot of projects still use other versions and even in version 4 you can pass a flag to disable all version 4 features, so it is an interesting challenge.
that's funny to know. I didn't realized before that NetCDF is build
on top of HDF5. The better for us :-).
Is it only NetCDF version 4 and higher or do the old libraries
NetCDF 2.2.22 also rely on HDF5?
Cheers,

Philip,
Yes, NetCDF 4 is built on top of HDF5. The projects are
contemporaries. NetCDF was started in 1989 at UCAR and HDF was
started around the same time at NCSA.
I don't have any contacts on the NetCDF team, but Andrew might
know someone. Andrew?
I agree that we should get people to make projects at and
join the Foundation as well as the working group. However, in
the science world very few people are going to do that without
a tangible demonstration of the benefits and I think that in
general the bigger the project the more time it will take for
that to happen. So, while we are working on that lofty goal,
we should look into getting these things into Orbit.
yep, it would be great having more plugins available in
the Eclipse Orbit universe :-). I gave a short overview at
the last EclipseCon in France how to use/include 3rd party
libraries (but most of the people know how to do this): http://de.slideshare.net/PhilipWenig/eclipsecon-france-2014
From my opinion, we should find a way/strategy how to
contact projects and how to convince them to join the
Eclipse Foundation except of those who are already part of
another Foundation, e.g. Apache Foundation.
The better it would be if they would join the Science
Working Group and switch to EPL. Do you have contact to
people from the NetCDF team?
Cheers,
Philip

Torkild,
I think it would be very cool for those
to go into Eclipse Orbit.
More generally, and this is a technical
discussion that made me think of getting a forum,
we should think about a larger, cross-platform set
of universal binary builds of common scientific
libraries that we could get approved through
Orbit. For example, in addition to HDF5 we
probably need to pick up other I/O libraries like
netcdf and exodus II. Both of these are built on
top of HDF5 and have BSD licenses, so why not just
make it very convenient and build them all
together? Other libraries, like math libraries
could be added too. An integrated software stack
like this is a highly coveted thing in many
M&S circles because it would greatly simplify
deployment of M&S codes for commercial
customers.
Of course this is a technically
difficult thing to do and comes with legal
questions, so an extended discussion would be best
in a forum or bug ticket. But... it would be
really cool to just pull down the
org.eclipse.science.native bundle(s) from Orbit in
a target!

Hi Philip,
This is a great idea! I'd like to contribute if
I can. It's up to my client whether or not I can
go to the unconference. I've not heard with them
yet so I don't know.
One thing we've been working on that we would
like to contribute, if we can - are neatly
bundled HDF5 binaries for supported platforms.
Maybe this can go into Eclipse Orbit. I suspect
we're not alone in packaging HDF5 so it would be
great to get some input on that. In any case
I'll start the CQ process very soon, so maybe we
can get a go-ahead before EclipseCon.
Best regards,
Torkild
