Based on this blog post <https://ptribble.blogspot.com/2024/02/the-sunos-jdk-builder.html>, the maintainer has never enabled the test suites. I'm not a corporate user, so a TCK-passing OpenJDK is not really important to me, but I feel more confident when using the one. I'm using Azul's on both Linux and Windows because of that <https://www.azul.com/blog/use-tck-testing-to-ensure-that-your-java-distribution-conforms-to-the-java-se-specification/>.

Is there a TCK-passing OpenJDK for illumos, or will there be one soon?

I know ptribble is here. But how to tag him? I only have experience with Xenforo.

There are 2 entirely different things here.

The first is the built in test suites, which can be a bit of a hassle to
get running (especially on older
versions where Solaris was supported because they assumed the Studio
toolchain). I've been running
them in an ad-hoc fashion for ages; the builder automates that to make
running the test suite trivial.
Almost all of the tests pass, most of the failures I've fixed were errors
in the tests not errors in the jdk
we use. There are still some to fix.

Then the second part:

The TCK is about branding and licensing. I enquired, and I'm unable to get
access to the TCK.
Even if I did, that would only apply if you got your copy of Java directly
from me - I wouldn't be
able to certify the jdk present in the different distributions. Access to
the TCK is heavily restricted
- as an example, AdoptOpenJDK were denied, which is why they ended up
merging into the
Eclipse foundation who were already a licensee.

If you want a TCK certified OpenJDK, then realistically the only plausible
route is that you'll have to
persuade one of the existing licensees to provide it.

Thank you for your answer. I confused the built-in test suites with the TCK.
