Hi Trygve, I'm afraid not (not yet anyway…). We obtain the Java EE TCK under the terms of an NDA. Access to our Java EE TCK materials is limited to Geronimo committers (or committers on other ASF projects) that have signed the NDA. > > There are some potential alternatives to consider -- e.g. build Plugins that > can replace server functionality, rather than integrate all function into the > server functionality.

Schedule B of the CCLA needs to reference the software grant. Something like: "A code grant is attached to the JIRA issue GERONIMO-6217 in the form of two software patches: geronimo-2.2-1188546.patch and gshell-alpha-1-606434.patch" Sorry for the hassle. Look forward to getting your updates applied… --kevan
