> 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 answered pretty quickly 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.
