The warngen send button has been removed from all current and future builds. It 
will not be added back in.
We have an agreement with NOAA/NWS to restrict the generation of warnings
in Unidata's public version of AWIPS because we can't run the safety risk of 
people potentially
distributing their created warnings as official National Weather Service 
products.
