Hello, The Apache James project [1] is pleased to announce the release of version 1.6.3 of the Apache James Protocols Project, a library that delivers a lightweight, and highly extensible framework for mail protocols implementations. The framework was build as a generic one, so its not bound to any socket implementation. This make it possible to use it with NIO or IO Frameworks.
The framework is currently used by Apache James Server in conjunction with Netty to provide a high performance and extensible SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 Server. At the moment those 3 standard mail protocols are included, but others will follow. Apache James Protocols can be downloaded from the following page [2]. Binary artifacts are published on Maven Central under Group Id "org.apache.james" . Please, remember to check the signature and fingerprint of the downloaded files. You can find the release notes next to the source artifacts [3]. Have a great day, Ioan-Eugen, on behalf of tha Apache James community [1] http://james.apache.org [2] http://www.apache.org/dist/james/protocols/1.6.3/ [3] https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/james/protocols/1.6.3/RELEASE-NOTES.txtt
