easy-to-use HDF archiver using Java

 h5ar provides an archiver using a Java binding to the HDF Group library for
 HDF5 focusing on ease-of-use, which was developed by CISD and is now
 maintained by ETH SIS.
 The executable uses HDF5 1.8 from the HDF Group and files created with
 h5ar are fully compatible with HDF5 1.6/1.8 (as you choose).
