Hello, I just pushed the `log4j-jakarta-smtp` to `release-2.x`. Thanks to many comments and suggestions in the PR it works as expected, but I have some doubts on the Maven dependency pattern to apply to the artifact.
In practice the artifact: 1. Directly references classes from `jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api` and `jakarta.mail:jakarta.mail-api`, but since all known implementations of those APIs shade those artifacts instead of depending on them, I put those dependencies as optional compile dependencies. Should they be 'provided' dependencies? 2. There is in practice a single implementation of the two APIs above, so to help users of standalone and light servlet container applications I added `com.sun.activation:jakarta.activation` and `com.sun.mail:smtp` (a lighter version of `com.sun.mail:jakarta.mail` with just the SMTP provider) as non-optional runtime dependencies. Should they be optional dependencies? Piotr
