Hi Benedict!

Asking about what you use from a high level as we of course have integration 
code with every specification and there are 30 of them, so wanted to point you 
towards the integration code for a spec you might actually use and have some 
experience in / find relevant to you.

Help passing Jakarta EE compliance tests is definitely helping where it counts 
the most. It’s also the hardest work, but most rewarding.

We should still find a couple small wins so you can get that joy of seeing a PR 
merged, but after that do you use any of these specs?

 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-4155

The Java EE TCK was a huge monolith.  Finally in EE 10 some of those TCKs have 
been split out into brand new TCKs.  The impact of that is 20 years of 
experience means nothing as each now has all new framework/setup code, so we’re 
all at an equal disadvantage :)

Anyone who takes one of those tasks, including me, is basically going to have 
to learn the TCK setup for each spec and set it up brand new.
