[OT] javax.mail (1.4) dependency

[Matthias Wessendorf <ma...@apache.org>]

Hi,

sorry for the *cross* posting. I figured out that the java.net folks
deploy the javax.mail_1.4 jar AND the javax.activation 1.1 jar.

But... why has the javax.mail 1.4 jar a dependency to activation 1.0.3 ?

Makes no sense to me.

https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository//javax.mail/poms/mail-1.4.pom

Maybe there is also an issue with that JAR? Dennis and me already
figured out that the JSTL 1.2 is sorta broken.

Any update on this would be great.

Thanks,
Matthias

:) yes, I know (was involved in some of the jakarat email stuff).

but...

<snip>
JavaMail API 1.4 Release
The JavaMail 1.4 release includes many API improvements approved by
the Java Community Process via JSR-919. It also includes improvements
in MIME parsing performance and support for parsing and constructing
Delivery Status Notifications. Note: You will also need the JavaBeans
Activation Framework (JAF) extension that provides the
javax.activation package. We suggest you use version 1.1 of JAF, the
latest release.

Makes no sense to me, when they ship their pom with 1.0.3 dependency.

That was my point ;)

Its simply a requirement http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/

I already tried to use it without activation bad that wont work.
As far as I remember they use it to instanciate the various provider
(pop, imap, etc) through activation
