This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta JSON Binding TCK software.

After installing the software according to the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration," for instructions on configuring your test environment.

3.1 Obtaining a Compatible Implementation

Each compatible implementation (CI) will provide instructions for obtaining their implementation. Eclipse Yasson 2.0 is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.yasson

3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the JSON Binding TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

  • Java SE 8 (1.8) or 11

  • Apache Ant 1.10.0+

  • A CI for JSON Binding 2.0, one example is Eclipse Yasson 2.0

  • JSON Binding TCK version 2.0, which includes:

    • JDOM 1.1.3

    • Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

    • Apache Commons Logging 1.1.3

    • Apache Commons Codec 1.9

  • The JSON Binding 2.0 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

  1. Install the Java SE 8 (1.8) or 11 software, if it is not already installed.
    Download and install the Java SE 8 (1.8) or 11 software from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

  2. Install the Apache Ant 1.10.0+ software, if it is not already installed.
    Download and install Apache Ant 1.10.0+ software from Apache Ant Project. For complete information about Ant, refer to the extensive documentation on the Apache Ant Project site. The Apache Ant Manual is available at http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html.

      You can obtain the JSON Binding TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/jsonb/2.0/.

    2. Use the unzip command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      unzip jakarta-jsonb-tck-2.0.1.zip
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, <TS_HOME>.

  4. Install a JSON Binding 2.0 Compatible Implementation.
    A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the JSON Binding TCK 2.0 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
    The Compatible Implementations for JSON Binding are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/jsonb/2.0/.
