[mdr-users] MDR Installation Issues

Hello,

I'm not sure whether my problem is local to installation of MDR, or 
whether it's more widespread, but I get an "Unable to connect to the 
Update Center", any time I try to connect to Update Center Alpha, at 
http://www.netbeans.org/updates/alpha/36_{$netbeans.autoupdate.version}_{$netbeans.autoupdate.regnum}.xml?{$netbeans.hash.code}, 
as specified at http://mdr.netbeans.org/installation.html.  All of the 
other (default) Netbeans Update Centers work as expected. 

I have also tried compiling from sources, but in the following sequence 
of commands, step 4 fails:

1. cd %nb_all% (switch to the %nb_all% directory - whatever directory 
you pick where you want to checkout the sources)
2. cvs checkout standard_nowww apisupport_nowww mdr_nowww (checkout 
compact version (i.e. without www folder) of NB sources and apisupport 
and mdr modules - steps 1 and 2 in build instructions)
3. cd nbbuild (switch to nbbuild directory)
4. ant all-mdr (step 3)
5. cd ../mdr (switch to mdr directory)
6. ant download (step 4)

with the following error:

...:~/bin/netbeans-4.1/mdrsources/nbbuild$ ant all-mdr
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Target `all-mdr' does not exist in this project.

Total time: 0 seconds

Any assistance you could provide would be appreciatehe standalone versiond.
Thanks,
Kristina Hildebrand
