Very weird M2 dependency problem

[Ashley Hurkoo <ah...@tenzeng.com>]

Here is an extract of my pom.xml, I do not have activation-1.0.2 in my
dependency list


		<dependency>
			<groupId>javamail</groupId>
			<artifactId>javamail</artifactId>
			<version>1.3.2</version>
		</dependency>



Once I remove the above depencies in pom.xml, everything works fine but I do
need this jar.

This is the only depency causing the problem below to happen. I cannot
understand why it is requesting to download activation-1.0.2

This is normal.  It's a transitive dependency.  Your project depends
on javamail, and javamail depends on activation.

You'll have to download it and install it in your local repository--
it's one that isn't allowed to be in the ibiblio repository due to
licensing issues.

(Didn't you have to do that for javamail as well?)
