[IDV #EKW-753985]: Cannot load metar point data

Dean,

Thank you for this information. So the ADDE plugin may be problematic.  It looks
like you found a workaround by either removing the ADDE plugin or starting with 
a
fresh .unidata directory. This information will be helpful for us in the future.
Thanks again for the update.


Best,

Unidata IDV Support
