This problem can be easily corrected if we just switched the

problem, which can be very easily corrected. Are there any
objections to making this change in 1.2?
I actually did a test of using javamail on the 1.2 snapshot and ended
up putting in this dependency to make it work:
<dep:dependency>
<dep:groupId>org.apache.geronimo.configs</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>javamail</dep:artifactId>
<dep:version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</dep:version>
<dep:type>car</dep:type>
</dep:dependency>
I don't know how that fits in with your suggestion though - but this
did work for me.
And that's generally the correct solution, although in the case I cited
with Quartz, it wasn't enough to fix it because of the jar file split.
A lot of users trip over this because the javamail spec jar is pulled in
by other components (such as axix), without also pulling in the provider
jar. The missing provider doesn't show up until they attempt to use the
API and they get the exception.
