Part of the problem comes from Sun's binary license:
2. License to Distribute Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3 (Java (TM)
Technology Restrictions) of these Supplemental Terms, Sun grants you a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to reproduce and distribute
the Software in binary code form only, provided that (i) you distribute the
Software complete and unmodified and only bundled as part of, and for the
sole purpose of running, your Java applets or applications ("Programs"),...
Putting a copy of "javamail.jar" in a maven repository technically violates
the Sun license since you are distributing it as a single jar and NOT
bundled with your application. I'm not sure about CVS. I'm also not sure
what the official ASF position is on this. The Maven folk were once
discussing this idea with some Sun folk, but I don't think it got anywhere.

A postGoal seems like a good solution to this.

+1 to look into "reduction of jars"
