[jakarta.ee-spec] Process for TCK service releases that include TCK updates for running signature tests on newer JDK versions...
|
For Jakarta EE Platform 9.1+ supports implementations running TCK
compatibility certification tests on JDK versions Java SE 8, Java
SE 11+. In support of running TCK tests on JDK versions greater
than SE 11, we expect that some tests will need to be revised
(e.g. see jaxb-tck/issues/57 [1] for updating signature tests
related to need new signature tooling library and signature map
files).
Last December, we started making changes to the `TCK Process 1.0`
that includes the following text [2] which introduces an
alternative to excluding (challenged) TCK tests:
`The specification project may approve (user) workarounds for an
`accepted` TCK challenge (as alternative to excluding TCK tests).`
My question today is whether the above quoted text is enough to
cover Jakarta EE 9.1 compatibility certification requests against
Java SE 17 (which will include signature test failures due to
jaxb-tck/issues/57 [1])? If the answer/vote is yes, certain
signature test failures can be ignored on newer JDK versions, if
and only if the signature test failure is caused by inadequate TCK
signature support for the relevant Java SE (e.g. JDK 17)
version. If the answer/vote is no, we will need an additional TCK
process change to specifically allow a SPEC TCK service release
that updates signature tests to resolve the signature test failure
(e.g. allow jakarta-xml-binding-tck-3.0.2.zip [4] to be officially
released by Spec team so that implementations can submit
certification requests against jakarta-xml-binding-tck-3.0.2.zip).
