I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to discuss the challenges we are facing while creating modern TCK on the persistence layer and to introduce some new tools that could help us overcome these challenges.
Currently, most Jakarta EE specs use the Arquillian framework as the core of the TCK. However, we have found that it can be challenging to work with, especially for newer developers, and it does not work smoothly on modern IDEs such as IntelliJ. Furthermore, the getting started documentation for Arquillian references Java EE 7, a ten-year-old version, and aligns differently from the current Jakarta EE version 10.
Therefore, we believe the Arquillian framework only makes sense for legacy projects. We must explore new options to create a more developer-friendly TCK for modern projects.
We are considering using JUnit Jupiter with TestContainer as an alternative to Arquillian. We believe this approach could simplify the testing process and make it more accessible to new developers. Additionally, we aim to create an easy-to-integrate, contribute, and extensible TCK that can be used for both Jakarta NoSQL and Data specifications.
We would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on this matter, especially regarding the new TCKs we are developing. We want to ensure that our approach remains neutral to both specifications. We are open to exploring other frameworks that could inspire our work, such as Weld-testing, TestContainer, and JUnit 5.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
