== About the Technology Compatibility Kitanchor:About_the_Technology_Compatibility_Kit[]

In order to demonstrate compliance with the Java Data Objects
specification, an implementation must pass all of the tests in the
Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). The TCK is released as a packaged
Java source tree. Maven is the driver of a test run. You must download
and install http://maven.apache.org/[Maven 2+]before running the TCK.

Vendors must post test results on a publicly accessible web site for
examination by the public. The posting includes the output of the test
run, which consists of multiple log files containing configuration
information and test results. For an example of the required posting,
