Or do what Java does and have a compliance test suite, where anything that passes this test is compliant.

Java has a specification

Are you referring to the JCK (a.k.a. Java Compatibility Kit, a.k.a. TCK for Java SE, etc.)?

My understanding is that passing it is a necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for something to claim it's a compliant Java implementation. Among other things, it must also conform to the Java Language Specification. (There's also a Java Virtual Machine Specification.)
