Subject: RE: FW: [CQ 8940] HDF5 1.8.14
Sharon,
Thanks for the guidance!
SZip and Zlib are required by HDF5.
We actually need to ship part of HDF-Java with ICE *and* have them
install the full HDF-Java package. It is a bit complicated but
essentially there are Java pieces that we need to include in ICE and
JNI+Native libraries that the user needs to install.
The VisIt Java Client is something that we need to ship with ICE as well.
It was originally developed as part of NiCE, (the initial
contribution), but by another National Laboratory. When we moved to
Eclipse, they elected to move that code to GitHub.
I realized after talking to Anna late yesterday that the situation
with
HDF5 may be a little more complicated than a Workswith CQ. We have two
different types of HDF in ICE; HDF5 and HDF-Java. HDF-Java is what we
need for the Eclipse RCP-based part of ICE. However, we have a
separate C++ library that is used by C/C++ and Fortran codes to write
files that are read by our RCP side and this is where the requirement
for HDF5 comes from. It actually requires HDF5 to compile, so I now
believe it may be more than a Workswith CQ.
That being said, I am thinking that it may actually be better to
remove that
C++ code from the ICE repo and release it as a completely separate
