• Subject: Re: TCK archive format?

https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg03268.html

Need canonical Maven artifacts to distribute and use in the final ballot, do not yet have an agreed proposal including update to the TCK Process (Note: EE 10 API’s & specs locked down in Q1, TCKs distritbuted as final in Q2)

There discussion covered 2 proposals:

1. Just produce a zip file of the requisite contents as a step in the TCK release build and upload it to the project download area. This is what projects have done to date and an example of this was provided to the Concurrency project.

2. Produce a jar file for the TCK distribution for Maven Central.  As part of the release job, copy this jar file as a zip file to the project download areas. This is the same as 1 in terms of how it would be handled by the Specification Committee and no changes are required to the TCK process.

Fallback, for EE 10 stick w/ the prior approach (ie. EE 9), continue to work on the proposal in parallel while we deliver EE 10
