Mark created JAMES-1548:
---------------------------
Summary: javax.mail - geronimo or oracle implementation?
Key: JAMES-1548
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1548
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mark
Priority: Minor
It looks like Oracle's JavaMail implementation is a lot more recent than the
Geronimo implementation.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1</version>
</dependency>
My main problem with Geronimo is that it does not support proper IMAP
authentication, therefore I *have* to use Oracle's implementation during my
integration tests. To avoid having multiple implementations hanging around
inside the same process (AFAIK you cannot just manage the release because of
differences in the internals used), I want to trigger a discussion about
whether it would be better to switch to Oracle JavaMail implementation. Their
bug reporting now seems independent of Oracle's own bug processing system, my
own inquiries have been answer pretty quick and efficiently. Is there any issue
with the license? AFAIK it allows the distribution under the GPL+classpath
exception, so it should pose no hindrance except for the requirement of proper
license inclusion.
