The lack of variable length arrays in the Java interface is puzzling. It does not appear to be difficult to support, though a few native functions outside the HDF5 API are probably required to handle creation and manipulation of hvl_t. Am I being naïve?
Is this support that I need to write for my own purposes or should I check out a development snapshot that already has some support?

There has been some recent effort to improve our API coverage in the Java
interface, however I will need to investigate further on this specific issue.
I do know that the support for VL arrays has been improved in the hdfview
program for reading, but writing VL arrays still has issues.
I will look further into the API coverage. If you have a small program that
exercises what you are wanting to do, please send it to us! It will help with
our testing.
