Your classpath will need to include the top level of the IDV source
tree as well as the JAR files in lib.  For example, mine looks like:

c:\java\idv;.;c:\java\idv\lib\local-visad.jar;c:\java\idv\lib\visad.jar;c:\java\idv\lib\ncIdv.jar;c:\java\idv\lib\jython.jar;c:\java\idv\lib\external.jar;c:\java\idv\lib\auxdata.jar

where c:\java\idv is the top level of my source tree (where
ucar is).
