James Newbie Q: Re-packaging the SAR or copy to JAMES_HOME/lib?
Hello:
I was working through the IBM mailet articles by Claude Duguay
(Available/Unavailable mailets). When deploying mailets, the article
says that re-packaging the SAR is the "only viable way" to deploy new
mailets to James. I followed the instructions on the James site about
simply placing them in the JAMES_HOME/lib dir (along with some other
JARs from the james.sar file) and everything seems to work fine.
Am I missing something? Why would someone go to all the trouble of
re-packaging the SAR instead of just being able to deploy their jars to
the /lib dir?

Chris,
I read the article too. But went ahead and just deployed my Mailet into the lib
directory. Everything was fine (using James30a1). So I thought may be the article is a
bit outdated.

It's not that bad. After you create your mailet jar just:
jar uvf ${JAMES_DIR}/apps/james.sar SAR-INF/lib/YourMailet.jar
Keep in mind you have to use the JDK jar as GNU jar doesn't support this.
