[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] exclude tests only

We talked about this item in our recent meeting:

  • Add new tests for TCK for existing spec, or exclude tests only?  - Bill

  • Recollection was that it was only “exclude” for now. Update TCK doc to clarify this decision.
Well, we already had an instance of a problem that caused us to violate this. Many of the tests depend on a self-signed certificate. The certificate is bundled with the test suite. The bundled certificate is about to expire. We don't want the tests to fail just because the certificate expired. We could exclude every test that uses one of these certificates, but that would cripple the test suite. Instead, we're going to replace the certificate with a newer one that doesn't expire quite so soon. And yes, the "right" fix is to generate the certificate at the start of the test. That's a problem we're leaving for someone else to solve in the future.
