The TCK goes back at least as far as
2002 and most
likely earlier. It seems to have always been associated with the JSPA. Here is
how the
ASF
explains the two terms:
Q : You talk about the JCK in the
letter. Is the JCK a TCK?
A : It is, actually. The JCK is the name Sun
gave the TCK for the Java SE specification. While it has a different name, it's
a TCK for the purposes of JCP process discussion.
I'm sure I read
this before and it is what led me to believe the TCK came first. I had assumed
the JCK was a special case of the TCK. I suppose it is possible that the TCK
was a generalization of the JCK and so came afterward.

At least that's what I've seen in compatibility documents.
TCK - for a given API
JCK - for the entire Java implementation (incl APIs).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
