Hi Paul; > Why does Axis2 seem to have a hard dependency on JavaMail? The need > for loads of dependent JARS for things I never used was one of the > issues I've had with Axis1. Can we make this more pluggable? I too like a switch for not compile the additional stuff, we can put a exclude rule in the maven build to exclude them, But I have not yet found a way to load or not load it base on some option.I will give it a try.
As the java mails is download by the maven I thought it is ok for now. At the runtime Axis would work without SMTP jar if the mails transport is not used. I am +1 for have a minimal build, Let us add a bug so we do not for get it and try to fix it if possible Thanks Srinath
