How is this possible? JavaMail 1.0 came out in Jan/Feb 1998, Java came out in Feb 1996. That doesn't leave much room for "several years" of Commons Net predating JavaMail.
If you're not trolling, you are nitpicking.
No, seeking clarification to what I thought was hyberbole since you were claiming this code is well more (several years more) than 6 years old.
Today, the FTP functionality is what most people care about, despite its ancient design. JavaMail models a mail system and Commons Net provides basic support for common IETF network protcols. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
Alright, my first message rubbed you pretty badly, so hopefully I can say this with a bit more tact.
There are issues in the Commons Net SMTP API (notably SMTPClient.sendMessageData() returning a Writer) that made it seem like green code. I understand now that between other protocols being of more interest and the nature of how the code was donated, why this is the case.
