not yet

contributions very welcome :-)

you need to use the spring deployment

the best way to start is to (outlined in *nix speak):

1. check out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/
2. 'ant clean dist'
3. then 'cd spring-deployment'

then read the HOW TOs and work on the war distribution

a few of the jars may have issues with their manifests - you may need
to edit them locally

not at the moment

the james 3.x code base is of good quality but lacks documentation and
large scale production testing. it is also transitioning away from
avalon probably towards OSGi. i recommend it for developers of mail
applications but users who want a shrink wrapped mail server should
stick with 2.x.

IMHO though a full release still looks a while off, the code is just
about ready for an official milestone release

in terms of cutting official 3.x milestones, IMHO the major issues now
are the willingness of 3.x users to step up and:

1. let us know that's it's working for them in production.
2. contribution documentation back to the project

if you need a milestone then that's how you can help ;-)

if you use git then a mirror is available at
http://github.com/apache/james/tree/trunk (which should help you to
manage a local fork)
