If we test on Java7 and pass, we can claim we're a compatible implementation in that mode; if we don't test on Java5 then we can't claim compatibility on Java5 but that does not stop us being compatible on Java7. I read it as being sufficient if we document what we require as a resource.

The newer TCK does not have some of the scripts that were in the older one so I think the instructions on running it may have changed. The release notes say the User Guide is packaged separately from the TCK download. Mark, please could you check for any other updates related to this TCK.

Everything that was available was downloaded and added to the ASF TCK repo.
