Subject: Basic Useage of JCK
Message-ID: <20080519120844.GB8334@localdomain>

Hi List,

I'm trying to get some JCK Tests running against the OpenJDK 6
Distribution. 
I have downloaded the R/O-Licensed JCK Files, since I was assuming
I can use those with the new license on the OpenJDK Website.

1) Is there another Distribution which has more Files, since the
Interview-Classes seem to be missing and the .jti Files on
the OpenJDK website are complaining about that.

2) If not, which is the correct way to aquire JCK for my
Project. 

3) If I'm wrong and everything is correct and I'm just missing
some information to get JCK running here, where is a good starting
point to use the provided jti files with JCK and OpenJDK 6 


Thanks :-)
Chris

The license on the jck.dev.java.net site says you can only use those for 
reading.  As you say that is the ReadOnly JCK.  For a runnable JCK there 
is a different newer program.

http://openjdk.java.net/groups/conformance/

There's a page for some .jti files ..

http://openjdk.java.net/guide/jckAcquisition.html

This page will eventually tell you how to acquire the JCK.

http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/faq.jsp#k

In the meantime those FAQ pages appear to be the information you're seeking.

There is a special license to use for access to a runnable JCK for the 
usage as you say.  I believe the FAQ will answer your questions.
