Nice. The Signature Test and the Spec Trac tools sound very interesting.
And having the sample TCK under the GPL would encourage more TCKs under
a free software license by default. So are these the tools, source code
and guides that the Conformance team would maintain as part of OpenJDK?
Are jtharness and jtreg currently part of the OpenJDK Quality Group
projects?

Thanks,
