Greetings Programs,
I double booked myself tomorrow at 11am and cannot attend the all-important TCK call tomorrow.
Scott Marlow, I request you to please discuss these four items. I realize I can only request, not demand. But with four weeks to go, including this one, I think we need to discuss them.
- Can we get everyone behind the proposal I sent to the platform dev mailing list (https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg04515.html
). Copied by value here:
The Jakarta EE 11 Web and Platform TCK will consist of
A sufficiently complete, refactored, Web and Platform TCK using the new system devised by the Platform TCK project team. (for discussion,
“the refactored TCK”)
An exclusion list of tests the Platform TCK project deems can be safely excluded without sacrificing compatibility coverage given the other
provisions of this plan.
A version of the Jakarta EE 10 TCK designed to certify EE 11 compatible implementations on the required Java versions for Jakarta EE 11. (for
discussion, “the traditional TCK”)
An exclusion list of tests the Platform TCK project deems can be safely excluded without sacrificing compatibility coverage given the other
provisions of this plan.
A TCK User Guide describing how to run the previous two parts.
Taken together, the two exclusion lists is to provide an acceptable amount of compatibility assertion so that voting members can feel confident in voting to approve
the EE 11 Web and Platform ballots.
- I ask that Arjan and his colleagues refocus their efforts away from developing for the refactored TCK and switch to focus any TCK time they
have on the traditional TCK.
- I can take responsibility for interviewing the subject matter experts and producing the updates to the TCK User Guide.
- Will Lyons also stated that Oracle would not vote in favor of any TCK plan that does not include a plan to deliver a version of the Jakarta
EE 11 Web and Platform TCK that does not require the use of a Jakarta EE 10 TCK as the first deliverable after the delivery of EE 11. Can you discuss this as well?
Thanks, I’ll check out the recording afterward.
