Yeah, in general in OpenJDK we tend to create new Projects for new major features (like a mac port, or this one ... ;)- that allows the team of people working on a feature to work in splendid isolation until the feature is ready to get merged into a mainline release. So Lambda (& Jigsaw) are in their own Projects with their own hg forests. Note that Mike & Maurizio synced up the lambda forest with JDK 8 recently: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2011-November/004128.html so creating such builds should be easier then before, but given that neither Lambda nor the Mac Port are integrated into JDK 8, you'd have three fast moving parts to deal with, so it wouldn't necessarily be trivial: Just potentially a bit easier then a few weeks ago. ;) cheers, dalibor topic -- Oracle <http://www.oracle.com> Dalibor Topic | Java F/OSS Ambassador Phone: +494023646738 <tel:+494023646738> | Mobile: +491772664192 <tel:+491772664192> Oracle Java Platform Group ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
