Thanks, Benjamin.
The good news is that the problem resolved itself last night, perhaps with an
appreciated effort from one of you.

I think netcdf-java recently bumped up the Spring framework version
requirement. I don't recall the details, but I think the minimum java version
also got bumped.

my question here. I understand that you won't be able to fix the problem, but
perhaps you can suggest some workarounds until the problem can be fixed. My
current thinking is that it should be possible to copy the library to a local
Maven repository and point my build at that. What do you think?]
We just started getting the following error out of the blue when compiling our
Java code with Gradle that makes use of the netcdf libraries.

What's weird is that I can access maven-metadata.xml just fine with my browser
or with curl. Have you seen this problem? Do you have any idea what might be
the source of the problem?
We've been using the netcdf library in our build.gradle files for a long time
like this:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url = "https://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/repository/unidata-all/";
}
}
...
dependencies {
...
implementation 'edu.ucar:netcdf4:4.6.+'
...
}
Interestingly, this error went away when I used "implementation
'edu.ucar:netcdf4:+'", which will match the highest available version. I was
surprised to see that it downloaded version 4.5.5, not a more recent version!
That might indicate a problem with the last update of your metadata. (Version
4.6, which we're still using, seems to add Closeable to NetcdfFileWriter, which
we are taking advantage of with try-with-resources, so our code is broken with
the older version.)
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.
