Re: [cu-dev] Do you plan to move your TCK tests out of the Platform TCK

["Nathan Rauh" <nathan.rauh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm unsure how much
effort it will require, but ignoring that aspect, I'm in favor of this
because it will ultimately give us the option of delivering specification
updates and the corresponding TCK updates to test them together under a
single pull.  And it seems like the natural place for the tests to
be maintained.  MicroProfile is arranged this way and it works very
nicely there.

[cu-dev] Do you plan to move your TCK tests out of the Platform TCK project
for Jakarta EE 10+?

[1][2] is a proposal for how to produce
Standalone TCKs by extracting TCK tests from the Platform TCK.  The
process for extracting Standalone TCK tests is described via the GUIDELINE
FOR EXTRACTING TCK section [3].

Do you plan to move your TCK tests out of the Platform TCK project and
into your Specification project?  If yes, you will publish your Standalone
TCK artifacts to Maven so that the Platform TCK can consume your tests. 
Some Standalone Specification TCKs will also be consumed by the Core Profile
TCK (and possibly other EE profiles).

From the [1] feedback received so far, both TestNG + Junit5 are popular
test frameworks.  Maven is the likely choice to switch to using in
the EE Platform TCKs.

The Platform TCK community needs to take a deep look at the Platform TCK
internals and consider what the Jakarta EE 10+ Platform TCK architecture
will look like.  But I think first, we should do some incremental
hacking to bring in some Maven based testing as suggested by jakartaee-tck/issues/51
[4].
