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

["Asankha C. Perera (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-417?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12689452#action_12689452 ] 

Asankha C. Perera commented on WSCOMMONS-417:
---------------------------------------------

I think the problem occurred since earlier versions of Sun Javamail or Activation were not available on M2 repos probably due to some licensing issues. 

Now Axis2 poms have a dependency on both Geronimo and Sun Javamail, which creates problems [1], and confusion

I would like the Axis2 mail transport to depend on Sun Javamail v1.4.2 (which is the latest as of now and available on M2 Repos), and exclude the use of geronimo JARs altogether for the Commons Transports 1.0 release

> 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.

Andreas

Do you know if its safe to exclude Geronimo JARs from Axiom-api .. its 
becoming a transitive dependency?

thanks
