Ah. The fact that HDF5 1.8.16 builds libhdf5-10 might be confusing. HDF5
1.10 builds libhdf5-100 and is still in experimental.

There are at least 3 majors changes brought by HDF5 1.10:
1- The widely used hid_t datatype is now uint64_t (instead of int)
2- The java wrapper library is now part of the HDF5 source tree
3- HDF5Exception is now a checked exception.

(2) and (3) might be worked out with a new upload of hdf5, to ship the
java wrapper library packages, patched to define HDF5Exception as an
unchecked exception. I'd rather wait after the transition.

(1) Involves patching libsis-jhdf5-java.

The best option would be a new upstream release. Do you know their
schedule wrt HDF5 1.10?

Thanks,
