Welcome!

Not yet. For now you have to download the complete ZIP file from the 
download site [1]. It will be updated every 2 weeks at the same time new 
JDK 7 bits are posted. The next update should happen Thursday or Friday 
this week.

We hope to have some initial Mercurial support on OpenJDK soon so that 
updates become available immediately and can be pulled incrementally.

Embedded JAR files and native libraries do not work properly yet. There 
are open bugs for that in the class loader and the repository, see the 
daily bug emails. We hope to get to that before too long, watch this list 
for updates.
