Motion not carried. JSON-B project to be consulted to honor the TCK challenge and to publish a new version of the TCK with updated exclude list.


Proposal that was discussed and accepted: 

Plan A - Rebuild JSON-B TCK with the above excludes and notify the spec comm on the mailing list. Open Liberty to rerun the tests.

Plan B - Publish an exclude list that can be used against the existing TCK. Operational guide to be updated to reflect this process. To be resolved on Friday at 9:00AM Pacific Time on an interim call if required.


The following items were not discussed. We ran out of time on the call.

    • Consistent naming for TCK zip files

    • TCK URL inconsistencies

  • Specification ballots, merge status & progress w/ on ballot completion checklists:

  • Certification requests for projects without a seperate TCK’s eg. Jakarta Enterprise Beans

For now some specifications rely on the Platform TCK. 

CR are required to be approved by the specification project by referring to the results of the Platform TCK.
