Yes. Open JDK 6 has passed the Java SE 6 specification: "JDK 6 Project The primary goal of this project is to produce an open-source implementation of the Java SE 6 Platform." http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk6/ "The bottom line is that OpenJDK 6 works rather well, several Linux distros are using it as their JDK, it can be built to pass the JCK6b test suite, meaning OpenJDK 6 can be used to build a compliant JDK, and unfortunately it is this evolutionary sidetrack which we hope will be relatively short-lived. It serves a purpose, namely of having an fully open OpenJDK compliant with Java6" http://weblogs.java.net/blog/robogeek/archive/2009/01/it_will_be_open.html "The JCK tests probe the conformance of a Java platform implementation to a specification. For example, JCK 6b is the current test suite to determine conformance to the Java SE 6 spec. Official claims of conformance require not only passing the complete set of relevant tests, but also meeting the other requirements spelled out in the JCK user's guide." http://blogs.sun.com/darcy/entry/openjdk_6_b13_and_jck Open JDK 7 does NOT pass the Java SE 6 specification: "Q: Does the OpenJDK code base pass the JCK? A: Not at present. The OpenJDK 7 code base contains changes that are early access implementations of features that may become a part of JDK 7" http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/faq.jsp#k24 Open JDK 7 obviously CANNOT pass the Java SE 7 specification because no such specification currently exists.
