[jira] Commented: (WSCOMMONS-417) Clarify the status of the JavaMail dependency

Thilina Gunarathne commented on WSCOMMONS-417:
----------------------------------------------

AFAIK Axis2 ships sun mail & activation implementations. A quick look at Axis2 1.4.1 confirmed this. 

We got rid of the gerenimo-impl's when Sun changed mail & activation to a favorable license terms. I do not know about the current situation, but back then Gerenimo impl's were not complete. IIRC it was mostly the activation, where they did not support some content-type bindings.

+1 for switching completely to Sun mail+activation...

> axiom-api depends on Geronimo's JavaMail implementation. On the other hand, in axiom-tests this dependency is excluded and replaced by Sun's JavaMail dependency (same situation in Axis2).
> If Axiom doesn't work properly with Geronimo's JavaMail implementation, we should either make sure that the bugs in Geronimo get fixed or change the dependencies of axiom-api. If Axiom works properly with Geronimo's JavaMail implementation, then it doesn't make sense to run the tests against a different JavaMail implementation.
