Greg, Brain,
I checked the JCP pages and as I understand it, it is possible to release a new and fixed TCK any time without
formal process. So I would suggest the following procedure:
- Release the current state of the TCK now, as 1.0.2. There are already some useful changes.
- Do more changes to the TCK and release it as soon as there is something substantial, so everybody can check it and give feedback.
- While "sharpening" the TCK, collect pieces that should be changed in the Spec also in the JSR107 issue tracker.
- Change the Spec
- Add to the Spec that a 1.1 compliant implementation must pass TCK Version 1.1.x or higher
- Do Formal Spec release
I also think it is a good idea to announce the procedure and a rough idea of the schedule on the mailing list.
What do you guys think?
For a matter of openness and transparency, it would make sense to have this discussion itself on the mailing list.
Can we do this or do you prefer private mails on matters like this?
Best,
Jens
