Release of HDF-Java Products version 2.10
Version 2.10 of the HDF-Java Products is now available. This release was
built and tested with HDF 4.2.9, HDF5-1.8.12, and JDK 1.7. It can be
obtained from The HDF Group Downloads page:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/index.html
It can also be downloaded directly from the HDF-Java Products Download
page:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/release/download.html
For more information on HDF-Java, see the HDF-Java Products Home page:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdf-java-html/
(Please note that the location of the HDF-Java Products web pages
changed with this release.)
Although this release is a maintenance release with no major changes in
functionality, it does include major changes in the packaging and
installation:
o This release was built using CMake.
o Separate HDFView binaries are no longer provided. As of this release,
HDFView is included only within the HDF-Java Products software.
o Java is not bundled with the HDF-Java Products on Unix platforms, and
will need to be installed separately in order to use this software.
Other important changes in this release include:
o HDFView can now display datasets with user-defined plugins. For
information on this feature, see:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/Advanced/DynamicallyLoadedFilters/HDF5DynamicallyLoadedFilters.pdf
o A problem with the display and editing of unsigned 64-bit data in
HDFView was fixed. This issue caused corruption when editing and
saving data to a dataset with a compound datatype that included an
unsigned 64-bit field.
o Command-line options can now be specified correctly with HDFView.
