You need to figure out why the generator tool did not get created.
Go into jdk/make/tools and try a 'make' there, see if the tools
are getting built. The nimbus_generator.jar should exist at
c:/work/ie-build-64/btjars/nimbus_generator.jar at this point in the
build process.

The build tools get built early on, once, so that anyone building
just a part of the make tree isn't paying to constantly regenerate
the tools.
