There is not such a thing (netCDF is not pure Java). I was looking online for a while without success. This is the only reference I found http://www.cv.nrao.edu/fits/traffic/scidataformats/sdf.9709 and
http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf5-quest.html#jpar  (scroll down 3/4ths of page)

Apparently, there is not much motivation to do a pure Java implementation to manipulate HDF files (NetCDF is not pure Java either and they do not specify that on their website). The argument is that the native C code is 100,000 lines and that's too much to implement. It will worth the effort since Java is a growing force and things like MPI and Lapack, Blas are already written in pure Java.
Thanks,
