Issues

The TCK issue mentioned in our January report for 2014 still exists. Werner Punz[1] and Leonardo Uribe[2] discussed the impacts of this issue and the impacts are summarized as follows:

• It reduces our marketability, since consumers are more likely to pick an open-source JSF implementation certified as "TCK-compliant" over a non-certified one.
• It reduces our ability to be distributed as part of a Java EE stack, such as Apache TomEE and Apache Geronimo, since their TCK certification depends upon our TCK certification.
