But that is on the Oracle website, and it is definitive.

It doesn't get to be called Java if it doesn't pass the Java CTK. If it does, 
it gets to be called Java. That's Oracle's rules.

I don't understand why you don't consider that definitive.

You mean the classification whereby something does or does not get to be 
called Java doesn't have consequences? Given that this part of the discussion 
is about what does or does not officially constitute Java?

I am not trying to be obtuse, but I just don't follow your chain of thought.

I don't see you how you can just decide that Oracle's official test for 
whether something meets the definition of what it is to be called Java doesn't 
count in a discussion of what Oracle officially defines to be called Java.
