As stated in the installation instructions, installing the MDR from 
update center is applicable to NB older than 4.0 (i.e. 3.5, 3.5.1 or 3.6).

Hm. It seems I will have to change the instructions to build the whole 
NetBeans first (the new build infrastructure generates some ant targets 
automatically and it is not straightforward what the correct steps are). 
So, try "ant build-nozip" in nbbuild directory and then "ant download" 
in mdr directory.
