Welcome to the Java Compatibility Kit
(JCK 1.1)


The Java Compatibility Kit contains the set of Java Compatibility Tests, to exercise Java implementations, and a program called JavaTest to run the tests. The tests are designed to test conformance of Java implementations to the three Java specifications: the Java Language Specification, the Virtual Machine Specification, and the API Specification.

The tests are organized in a hierarchy of web pages, with each test program being represented by a Test Description, written using standard HTML. The tests are designed to be run in conjunction with a batch environment such as JavaTest, although the tests may also be run stand-alone to simplify tracking down any problems that may be uncovered.

The Java Compatibility Kit contains everything needed to certify a Java implementation as "Java Compatible".
