Re: JavaMail APIs
JavaMail APIs (initial spec) are now available in the
Geronimo/specs/javamail (and Geronimo/specs/activation as a
placeholder). At present, the APIs are complete in the sense that all
methods are present; however, they are not fully functional in the
sense that I've not implemented all the methods yet :-)
I've also yet to write the mail transport/pop clients, so at present
it's a set of APIs that you can use to write JavaMail programs, just
not run them ;-)

I think it ought to go into commons, eventually. That's why I was
reluctant to suggest it going into the specs/j2ee directory (even
though it's a required part of the J2EE spec).
My plan was to develop it in here, since I want to be involved with the
rest of the Geronimo project as well.
Long-term, I'd expect it to move to commons-javamail-api and
commons-javamail-implementation or some such; then /both/ Geronimo and
James can use it.
Of course, I'm not even a committer (yet :-) so I probably don't have
a huge say in such things, but that's IMHO.
