I think you will need to have a code signing certificate and sign
all the JAR files for this to work.

These are webstart things, but I think this is just masking another
problem.  If you look at the other tabs on the error dialog, what
do they point to?

In you JNLP file, you have the following:

       <resources>
           <j2se version="1.4+" max-heap-size="1024m" />
           <jar href="geonidv.jar"/>
           <jar href="auxdata.jar"/>
           <jar href="external.jar"/>
           <jar href="idv.jar"/>
           <jar href="jython.jar"/>
           <jar href="local-visad.jar"/>
           <jar href="nc2.2.jar"/>
           <jar href="visad.jar"/>
           <extension name="GEON IDV base" href="geon_idv_jars.jnlp"/>
       </resources>

what is in the geon_idv_jars.jnlp file?  For the main IDV, that's
where we specify all the jars you have listed in yours.  It's likely
that the error is due to a problem with that jnlp file.

Okay.
