The problem is in the initPropertyFiles method in GeonIdv.java:

   public void initPropertyFiles(List files) {
       files.clear();
       files.add("/ucar/unidata/apps/geon/geon.properties");
   }

The default property file is in the list of files that is
being passed in and it contains the pointer to the JNLP template.
But in this method, you are removing it from the list with the
files.clear(), so the only system properties that get instantiated
are those in the geon.properties.  Since you don't have the following
lines from idv.properties:

##When we save the state as a jnlp file we use the given template
application.jnlp.template = /ucar/unidata/idv/resources/template.jnlp

##This is where we find the webstart code release
application.jnlp.codebase = http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/webstart


##Title used in the jnlp file
application.jnlp.title = Integrated Data Viewer (IDV)

the template location is not defined. 

You have two options:

1) remove the files.clear() line from GeonIDV's initPropertyFiles method.

or

2) add the lines above to geon.properties (modifying to suit your needs)

Also, please note that the "powered by" icon name has been changed
and the old one is not in the distribution (a mistake on our part,
but irreversible at this point).  The line in geon.properties should
now read:

application.splash.iconroll = /ucar/unidata/idv/images/logo_rollover.gif

or just remove it and it will pick up the default, even if you don't
make the change to initPropertyFiles.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
