The issue is that it's not a normal part of the JVM release which is why everyone has their own.
The one I needed was the one that shipped with JBoss in my case in the server/default/lib directory, the one I was getting was in my JVM's jre/lib/ext directory. That's what created the compatibility issue between the mail.jar and the activation.jar. That's just my particular case, but on windows with any number of applications having their own copy it's a real case of the jar equivalent to dll hell. "whereis" would have helped me track down the issue quicker and was sorely missed on the windows box.
