Well at least we should update the links :-) Given javax.activation has been part of the core lib for a few releases (IIRC it was added in Java6 and now gets removed again) people will not have installed it and now are caught by surprise. Therefore I suggest to create a FAQ entry for it and add an additional hint to the mail task manual. > So what changed with Java10? The blurb about activation.jar being an external library has become true again. It is false when using Java6 to 9.
