That's because it was not possible in the past, i.e., IcedTea-Web 
heavily relied on IcedTea.  The situation will improve when 
IcedTea-Web 1.1 is released.  Please see below.

The tip is IcedTea-Web 1.1-ish now, which is already behind its 
release schedule, BTW. ;-)

Although the IcedTea dependency problem was improved, there still 
exists one IcedTea-specific patch.  This class is tested by configure 
script and it fails if OpenJDK6 wasn't patched first:
