## Summary - Replaced the dead JavaMail download link (`https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/Home`) with direct Maven Central links for `jakarta.mail-1.6.7.jar` and `jakarta.activation-1.2.2.jar` - Added an explanation for *why* the JavaMail JARs are required even without email features: Roller uses `javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress` for email address validation in core code (`Utilities.java`), so the dependency is loaded at runtime regardless of mail configuration - Updated the SMTP Javadoc link from `javamail.java.net` to the current Eclipse project URL ## Context Without the JavaMail JARs in Tomcat's `lib/`, Roller throws a 500 error on login with `ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.internet.AddressException`. The install guide already says to add these JARs, but the download link has been dead since java.net was shut down, making it easy to skip or miss this step. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
