What is a “certified” implementation?
The JCP process requires all JSRs to create a Test Compliance Kit (TCK) that can ensure API compliance of all implementations. A “certified” implementation is one that has passed the javax.usb TCK. Any given implementation may work correctly, but we will not refer to it as “certified” (in the official sense) until it passes the TCK test suite. • Who is responsible for javax.usb? IBM was the specification lead for JSR80. IBM also remains the maintenance lead for the now-approved JSR80. Dan Streetman (at IBM) wrote the majority of the API, common implementation, and Linux implementation, with assistance from Brian Weischedel, Roger Lindsjo, and Boris Dainson, and other people from the original JSR80 expert group and current javax.usb mailing list. The original API (which has been almost completely replaced) was written primarily by Michael Maximilien. The API, common implementation, and Linux implementation are maintained primarily by Dan Streetman in his “free time”, although since he w
