What I am trying to do: I want to serve netCDF data via WMS with the ncWMS 
extensions to WMS. I also need this happen via the Reading EDAL libraries (used 
in THREDDS 5 beta, but not in THREDDS 4).

I have some gnarly 5D netCDFs. Production THREDDS fails to open them though 
THREDDS 5 beta (based on EDAL) does ok. Best results come from develop branch 
of the EDAL libraries and I can squeeze some extra performance by a tinker to 
the EDAL CDMUtils. Currently I can work ok with them using a standalone EDAL 
ncWMS server and I can use all the extra ncWMS extensions to the WMS api.

The major thing wrong with this setup is a lack of tile cache. Looking at 
getting geowebcache standalone working with the setup which isnt without 
hiccups. The big downside here is adding two servers (geowebcache and ncWMS) to 
the setup. What if I could do it all through geoserver via the netCDF plugin?

Because of geotool wrappers it is very unclear to me whether the EDAL libraries 
are being used in the current version for netCDF access and WMS. I see that 
recent releases have been extending the WMS to ncWMS but I wondered whether 
this was via the EDAL library or one step further back in geoserver WMS code.

In short, I wondering whether checking out the plugin and changing its 
dependencies is going to make it work for my horrible netCDF files? At very 
least it looks like modifying geotools and the geoserver plugin.
