Re: [jakartaee-tck-dev] How to build the Platform TCK to target JDK8 but

[Alwin Joseph <alwin.joseph@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

While we continue the discussion on this, I will try to run couple of standalone TCKs in JDK11 and experiment.
I will try to add an option in the script to run on JDK8 or JDK11 and also to keep a separate ts.jte(say ts.jte.jdk11) for jdk11 run.

Regards,
Alwin
