No workshop until July, so you're clear. ;-)

My bad on the instructions.  In the jnlp line at the top:

<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/IDV/web
start/" href="IDV/idv.jnlp">

remove the href section so it looks like:

<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/IDV/web
start/">

Otherwise, it just uses the IDV/idv.jnlp file instead of the one you
are trying to use.

If you look at the ones you saved using the .jnlp extension, you'll
see that they don't reference the mother ship.

Sorry for the confusion.

Don
