Hi Mark and all,

Sorry for the delay, I'm a bit new to the new way of the TCKs !
In short: yes and you can start looking at it now, but read on.
Everyone in the expert group can get access to the TCK for review
purposes. The access ends once the spec goes final, and at that point
you have to license the TCK. You can send any feedback to me. As of now,
we do have some TCK tests there, and they are tracking the version of
the API that Tyrus our RI supports. But, as you'd expect at this point,
the tests are incomplete and evolving fast. We expect it to get much
more complete in the next month or so.
You can send any feedback on the TCK to me, and feel free to bring up
spec issues looking at the TCK may bring up to the expert group. The
details on the terms under which you get access are below.
If you/your company is an existing Java EE licensee, then Oracle will
set up the access through the contact at Oracle you use for Java
Licensee Engineering.
If you/your company is not an existing Java EE licensee, then drop me
and Lance a note (Lance.Andersen_at_oracle.com). If you are not sureor if
you are not sure/don't know who your Java Licensee Engineering person
is, then drop me and Lance a note (Lance.Andersen_at_oracle.com).
OK ?
