It doesn't really matter, as icedtea/generated/* isn't used in any 
practical sense - they are essentially stubs needed to compile the plug 
replacements.  Later in the build, all these files are re-generated 
properly by the OpenJDK build system and the new files are the ones that 
make it into the final product.

It's possible to run the OpenJDK generation script to create 
icedtea/generated/* in the first place, rather than committing files from 
one specific build, but the generation process was pretty messy last time 
I looked (granted, many months ago) and I don't know if it's worth the 
effort.

Cheers,
