Hi Andrea,

Thanks for diagnosing the problem, and i'll keep an eye out for a new release when you get to it.

Hi Wade,
I just gave the dataet a try and it is as I thought.

In the new udig a library necessary for loading the netcdf datasets
has been removed during the last releasing.
That is really bad, since the JGrass plugins that way miss the lib and
do not work for netcdf. I just now tried to substitute the new lib
into the udig libs plugin, but that is not enough.

This will mean that I will have to do a new release for JGrass, which
I won't be able to do in a very short time I am afraid. This is a
really bad problem, i'll try my best to get it going as soon as
possible.

Andrea
