Yup, just tested it and I get that error too. Things move quickly here! :-)

I don't have to use defender-prototype at this point. I can simply use "java":

$ ../lambda/build/linux-amd64/j2sdk-image/bin/java TestDefender
Hello from TestDefender$AImpl at 2bb0bf9a

I assumed that you "hard-wire" defender-prototype into the tool chain
during the JDK build process in some way. Isn't it so?
