Thread [1] below might be relevant. Apparently Sun is in the habit of
releasing a "borked" JavaEE API jar that can only be used for compiling
and not for running testcases. The suggested solution is not to use the
Sun JavaEE API jar but instead to use the equivalent Geronimo API jars,
which aren't "borked".
You would need to select the specific Geronimo API jars that you need
(e.g., the javamail API), as it seems that Geronimo doesn't have a
single combined JavaEE API jar.

Hi,
I've noticed a strange error in the logs when running /mvn test /on
binding-comet-runtime.
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is
not native or abstract in class file javax/mail/internet/ParseException
Full logs can be found here [0]. I've searched the internet and it seems
to be caused by the fact that javaee-web-api:6.0 only contains the API
and not the actual implementations. At Ant's suggestion, I've added
javax.mail:mail:1.4 as dependency which solved the problem in his
environment. However, it didn't do it for me, I can still see the error
in the logs. I've checked this on two environments: Ubuntu 9.04/Sun JRE
6.0 and Ubuntu 10.04/OpenJDK and I'm getting the same behavior.
Could someone else please check if the error is appearing on their
environment and if the javax.mail dependency solves the issue?
All that's required is to run a /mvn install /on binding-comet and /mvn
test/ on binding-comet-runtime which can be found in the contrib/modules
folder.
Thanks,
Florian
