/hg/icedtea: 2 new changesets

[Martin Buchholz]

Changes in openjdk7 (jar and  Makefiles)
make building rt.jar orders of magnitude faster already,
so "jar" is no longer a significant part of the build
(of course, you need this faster jar in your bootstrap jdk)

So I suggest not changing the use of the jar command
in the build process.
