It does with the process Sun has of promoting all changesets from a
project forest to master and then pulling from master to update the
project forest.  I think you'd get other changesets if the project
doesn't push to master e.g. the icedtea and jigsaw forests, though
that's unlikely to apply with something as early as b26 (the forests
only go back to b24).

If you grab a copy of IcedTea7 1.7 from the 2nd of June, 2008:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/download/source/icedtea-1.7.tar.gz

it will build b26 without the need for binary plugs.

As Dalibor says, a more recent version would be better. Why do you
need something as old as b26?
