             Summary: Error while sending email because of javax.activation
                 Key: KARAF-5989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-5989
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: karaf
    Affects Versions: 4.2.1
            Reporter: Nicolas Dutertry


It is not possible to send email in Karaf 4.2 with javax.mail API. When an 
email is sent, this exception is raised:
{code:java}
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
  nested exception is:
     javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type 
multipart/mixed;{code}
I’ve found that it is because the Activation Framework (javax.activation) is 
not OSGI compliant. In the previous Karaf version (4.1) a servicemix 
implementation of the Activation Framework was included but it is not the case 
anymore. 

The solution to have a working Activation Framework is to remove 
javax.activation references in jre.properties and to install the bundle 
org.apache.servicemix.specs/org.apache.servicemix.specs.activation-api-1.1/2.9.0.

For the future Karaf 4.2.2 can you please:
 * Remove javax.activation from jre.properties
 * Remove activation-1.1.1.jar from directory lib/boot
 * Let the user install 
org.apache.servicemix.specs/org.apache.servicemix.specs.activation-api-1.1/2.9.0
 if needed
