The Java 8 TCK update is for EE 6, not EE 7. The EE 7 TCK might also pass

Aha, this is what i was interested in.
Any chance you can try with JDK8 against
current master?

From the EE 7 platform specification:
"
EE.9.5
Requirements for All Java EE Profiles
The Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 is the required foundation for any
Java EE 7 profile.
Yes, but that doesn't say that is the only version that is required.
*EE.2.4.1 Container Requirements*
"This specification requires that containers provide a Java Compatible™
runtime environment, as defined by the Java Platform, Standard Edition, v7
specification (Java SE)."
Which means any Java runtime that is compatible with v7 is fine, and as far
as we know 8 is backward compatible, as it provides all v7 does and more.
