I don't think that is a serious option, that is only available under NDA
and only granted to people who sign an SCA with Sun and even then access
is only granted if Sun feels like it.
That said, adopting something like jigsaw for the core class library and
then having the option to switch modules seems a fine idea.
Compatibility is much more about running actually code than some opaque
proprietary test suite.
Cheers,
Mark
