The plugin works differently than the old VGEE jnlp. To
use the plugin in the JNLP, your JNLP file should use
this syntax:
<application-desc main-class="ucar.unidata.idv.DefaultIdv">
<argument>-installplugin</argument>
<argument>http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/plugins/vgee.jar</argument>
</application>

Try the syntax above.
Alternatively, just start the regular IDV, use the Tools->Plugin Manager
menu and install it from there, then exit and restart the IDV. That
way, you don't have to have a separate JNLP file and you can remove
it when you don't want it.
