Hi All,

Attached is a thread discussing the development of a new test harness for Jakarta EE.  I think this is critical to the future success of the platform. 

We should consider this project as a new addition to the EE4J project. We don't need to oversee it closely but there is a lot of enthusiasm and perhaps by the end of 2019 or 2020 it will be ready for use by the specification process.  

If folks agree we can reach out to the people on the thread and get the ball rolling.

Richard

I've worked with JTHarness and other parts of cts before, and would be happy to help migrating it.

Splitting the CTS project so that each individual TCK is relatively independent is a non-trivial (but not impossible) task.  It should definitely be considered, but it would help to have someone lead that effort who is already familiar with the CTS and the JT Harness framework on which it is built.  Does anyone want to volunteer to do that?

Until that is done, updates to the tests for each API will need to be done in the CTS repository.  We'll definitely need contributors from each API project to update the tests as the API evolves.  If you want to help with that, you should start becoming familiar with the JT Harness framework.

Is help needed to get the CTS migrated over to Jakarta?  I assume we will still use ant (which is a huge improvement over the earlier need for multiple make tools needed on some platforms :-)
