A README on the Sun website is not authoritative. An approved Final Specification from the JCP would be.
Anyway, the general problem is that even if you find isolated examples of apparently reliable information for individual packages, there are a lot more packages in the JRE that remain undocumented. Ironically, each time Sun added an API to the JRE, it became *harder* to use reliably. <sigh> Regards, Neil On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 4:57 PM, Andrea Zoppello <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Ben, > > I've made further investigation and found that "README" file: > > http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/README.txt > > where the version of activation is well documented: > > While JavaMail will work with JAF 1.0.2, we recommend the use of JAF 1.1 > or newer.
