Package ucar.nc2

Class CDMNode

java.lang.Object
ucar.nc2.CDMNode
Direct Known Subclasses:
Attribute, Dimension, EnumTypedef, Group, Variable
@Deprecated public abstract class CDMNode extends Object
Deprecated.
Will move to Dap4 module in version 6.
Define a superclass for all the CDM node classes: Group, Dimension, etc. Define the sort of the node CDMSort so that we can 1. do true switching on node type 2. avoid use of instanceof 3. Use container classes that have more than one kind of node

Also move various common fields and methods to here.
