Not trivially. But, the changes in the lambda forest are almost exclusively to the compiler and adding new library classes; we pull from jdk8 to lambda regularly. No Hotspot changes, or changes to existing libraries. So such a merge should be quite practical. _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
