BEAM still has no HDF support for Mac OS X due to the fact the the HDF library 2.3 used by BEAM was not available for Mac. Obviously this is not the case anymore. Java HDF 2.5 now offers Mac support, see http://www.bigdata.org/hdf-java-html/index.html

Oh no, Ralf invited me to read the HDF JNI page (http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/JNI/) more carefully. It still says:

"On Macosx, HDF5 is supported but not HDF4. On the macosx, JNI will only link to '.dylib' libraries. Unfortunately, dynamic libraries are not supported for HDF4, so the JNI interface to HDF4 is not available. The HDF5 library does build a 'dylib', and the Java native interface for HDF5 can be built. The Java linker does not resolve all the symbols, e.g. to the libz.dylib. Also, the linker include full paths to the dependent library, i.e., the path on the system where the library is built. Care must be taken to make sure that all the dependent libraries are installed when the HDF native library is installed on a system."

Shit. Lets move to NetCDF 4.0!
