Heads up: Integrating lambda-related changes into jdk8/jdk8

[Alejandro E Murillo]

Later today I plan to push the hs25-b41 snapshot into jdk8 master [1] 
<http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/>,
along with the fix for 8016281 
<http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8016281>. This push includes 
lambda-related changes that will
create lambda-related incompatibilities with class files compiled with 
earlier
JDK 8 versions. See [2] 
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html> for 
more details.

Once the changes have been integrated, the hotspot, langtools and jdk
repos must match - i.e., either all must have these changes or not have 
any of them.
A JDK with mismatched repos may build, but some lambda-related functionality
might not work properly (again, see [2] 
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html> for 
details of the symptoms).

After we integrate, If you do pull, make sure to pull all: hotspot, 
langtools and jdk,
and to build all
