Mark updated JAMES-1548:
------------------------
Description:
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 answered 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.
