HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

Hi, I have a dependency on HDFView or more precisely the Java HDF Object package in my code. I wanted to update to the current version of HDFView and the object package. Before that, I wanted to make sure that I could roll back the changes if the updates makes me troubles (I already saw that hdfobject.jar is not present anymore in HDFView 3.4.1 → app. So, I guess there will be some breaking changes again.)

My current code base relies on HDFView 3.3.2. Unfortunately, I can not find the code or an installer in Downloads | The HDF Group Support Site or Index of /ftp/HDF5/releases/HDF-JAVA.

Could you please archive all installers or binary zips in Index of /ftp/HDF5/releases/HDF-JAVA? For my case 3.3.2 would be sufficient, but I guess that is a general point for others also.

Thx

Hi @martin.raedel,

at least for HDFView 3.3.2 and newer you can find binaries on our GitHub: Releases · HDFGroup/hdfview · GitHub. Unfortunately, since the Java Object package was meant to be more of an internal dependency of HDFView, we haven’t really promised API/ABI compatibility to date. I’d be happy to help with any issues you have with updating to the newest release however.
