http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/java-hdf5-html/It is a Java package (ncsa.hdf.hdf5lib) that ``wraps'' the NCSA HDF5 library. The JHI5 may be used by any Java application that needs to access HDF5 files. It is extremely important to emphasize that this package is not a pure Java implementation of the HDF5 library.
This is a very "low-level" interface, intended for Java developers. In the near future, we will release Java classes that implement the HDF5 data model as Java objects, and other higher level interfaces which will be more useful for scientific applications.
