Hi, I recently tried to build hdf-java and noticed a small error in the instructions:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/release/cmakebuild.html It says that the HDF-Java source code SHOULD be uncompressed, but in fact the platform configuration files linked to on that page will by default try to check out the source code from SVN. This failed for me because I don't have svn installed (I use Mercurial). Alternatively, there is another option to use a compressed archive instead of SVN checkout, in which case the build script will extract the archive. So in either case the source code should not be uncompressed.

John, At the bottom of the page is a link to building hdfview with cmake; http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/release/cmakebuild.html The necessary files and instructions for building from source are there. If you need any further clarification, just ask.
