Well, what I wrote yestereday doesn't hold anymore. We had to branch 
whole openide module, so the build takes it from prj40_prototype branch. 
Please update your sources and take openide module from prj40_prototype 
branch, the automated build script and building instructions were 
updated. See the 
http://projects.netbeans.org/proposals/prototype/index.html.

Sorry and thanks for your patience,
