Latest Release: 2.11 [ Newsletter 143 ] [ Release Notes ]

An experimental version of HDF-Java is now available in which the object model jar files and HDFView application are separated
from the native interfaces for Java HDF4 (JHI) and Java HDF5 (JHI5). Separating the native interfaces and Java class libraries
will allow users to write HDF-Java code without the overhead of the HDFView application. For more information and to obtain
this release see: Obtain Experimental HDF-Java / HDFView

The HDF Java Products consist of HDFView (a Java browser for HDF4 and HDF5
files) and the HDF-Java wrappers.

The HDF-Java wrappers consist of the Java HDF Object Package, related HDF4
and HDF5 Object Packages, and the native interface for Java HDF (JHI) and
Java HDF5 (JHI5). The native interface includes the Java classes and C interface libraries.
