Hi Martijn,

I'm not Mark (obviously) but it's something that the JCP EC has been working with Georges and Brian on.  Nothing is set in concrete yet but the intention is to make a regular draft TCK's available under a friendly license so that the other Java implementors can implement against that spec as it moves along (as opposed to only getting access once the RI is officially released).  That should allow the other Java implementers to closely follow the same release cycle (if they choose to do so).

I won't have any further info on this until we have the next JCP EC meeting (just before JavaOne), but it's the number one item on the agenda for us to resolve. Thanks, for the update. That's going to be a great help. This gets better and better!
