I've got a saying: - Ask a dumb question and look dumb for a minute. Don't ask a dumb question and be dumb forever. Anyway, better luck next time as your question is actually really good. :) > Currently for TomEE 8, we use openjdk:8-jre as our base.

The TCK tests I ran to get the 90% were all done on JDK 8 so for now we probably should put out the same four profiles for TomEE 9.0.0-M1 for JDK 8. That said, to actually be certified in the future we'll have to pass on Java 11. Passing on Java 8 is actually optional from a specification perspective. We know TomEE 9 should always on work JDK 8 because we're creating these binaries by modifying TomEE 8. Where that leaves it is it's pretty much our choice. We could do either. Maybe people who try out TomEE 9 in Docker might prefer to Java 11 be the base? (when we actually start testing on that JDK that is) Thoughts? -David
