I would like to do the same change for trunk. Anybody got
issues/concerns/objections to this?
There's an open JIRA for doing this that's marked as a "wish item".
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2498
I'd say go for it.

There have been 3 javamail questions on the user list in recent
weeks about how to resolve a NoSuchProviderException trying to use
SMTP. These problems all had the same root cause, having the
javax.mail and the provider implementations in separate jar files.
It's not obvious to most people that the dependency requirement
exists and occasionally, even adding the dependency doesn't fix the
problem. There was a recent problem of trying to use javamail from
a Quartz job class where it was necessary to explicitly set the
context classloader before requesting a transport instance to ensure
the correct class loader was getting used. This was a situation
that could not occur with the Sun javamail implementation because
the api code and the providers are contained in the same jar file.
This problem can be easily corrected if we just switched the
references to the javamail spec file to the
geronimo-javamail_1.3_mail uber jar that contains the merged spec
and provider classes. More and more users are tripping over this
problem, which can be very easily corrected. Are there any
objections to making this change in 1.2?
