I have updated IcedTea 1, 2 & 3 to now use the same JamVM 2013-05-06 revision:
http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/commit/?id=7c8dceb90880616b7dd670f257961a1f5f371ec3

The IcedTea 1, 2 & 3 update is now committed here:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea/rev/2e8f301c5848
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea7/rev/933d082ec889
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/rev/c23f233213f4

Unlike hotspot, the same JamVM codebase supports OpenJDK 6, 7 and 8 (and GNU Classpath):
JamVM features depending on the version of OpenJDK it is compiled against therefore JSR 292 and JSR 901 is only supported for OpenJDK 8 builds.
I have taken care to make the NEWS reflect which JamVM features are enabled in each IcedTea release.

According to Robert; IcedTea 2 & OpenJDK 7 may get JSR 292 if the JSR 292 LambdaForms implementation now found in OpenJDK 8 gets back-ported.
