Hello, I was looking at fixing/updating hdfview[1], but the situation isn't straightforward: - it requires netcdf-java, which used to be provided by thredds, but thredds was retired[2], - the latest version of netcdf-java is now released separately[3], so I think packaging it up as a new package would be the easiest thing to do, - but, netcdf-java uses the Gradle build system which was retired as "out of date, broken, fails to build, basically unmaintainable"[4]. - and I can't find a way of using maven to build gradle projects in a straightforward way. So, to update hdfview, we need to package and maintain both Gradle and netcdf-java. Now, the state of java packages in Fedora is not too good---the Stewardship SIG[5] is keeping a lot of them afloat. Thoughts? Do we have any folks proficient who may want to work on this?
