Building hdf-java from source

HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

Hi, I'm trying to build hdf-java following instructions at:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/HDF-JAVA/hdfview-3.0.0/src/unpacked/docs/Build_HDFView.txt

from clone of https://bitbucket.hdfgroup.org/scm/hdfview/hdfview.git.

Maybe it is a java or ant versioning problem? Class path problem? Get the following build results:

HDF 4 and hdf5 must be built with Java enabled, does the HDF jar exist? Note, that it cannot be the jars/libs from the hdfjava 3.3 product.

I’m having a similar issue - when you say they need to be built with Java enabled, what do you mean?

HDFView 3.x will use the java libs/jars from the HDF4 and HDF5 releases. Those libs/jars are only available if you enable java when building hdf4 and hdf5.

Of course the other option is to use pre-built binaries.
