FYI,
those changes seem to trigger a spurious failure when running langtools
regression tests on a Windows machine [1]. We have been working to
isolate the problem and put together a fix which I am testing as we
speak. If the experiment is successful we can decide what's the best
course of action (i.e. direct push to master) in order to minimize the
number of teams that will be affected by this issue.

Later today I plan to push the hs25-b41 snapshot into jdk8 master [1]

<http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8016281>. This push includes
lambda-related changes that will
create lambda-related incompatibilities with class files compiled with
earlier
JDK 8 versions. See [2]
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html>
for more details.
Once the changes have been integrated, the hotspot, langtools and jdk
repos must match - i.e., either all must have these changes or not
have any of them.
A JDK with mismatched repos may build, but some lambda-related
functionality
might not work properly (again, see [2]
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html>
for details of the symptoms).
After we integrate, If you do pull, make sure to pull all: hotspot,
langtools and jdk,
and to build all
