Hi,
You have to install javax.mail bundle. This bundle is part of the jetty
feature or you can install by hand:
osgi:install mvn:javax.mail/mail/1.4.3

Is it possible to use the log4j email appenders in karaf?
I have been googling for a few hours and I have seen a number of partial
answers but nothing definative one way or the other.
Here is my SMTP appender configuration in org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg
log4j.appender.MAIL=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.MAIL.BufferSize=10
log4j.appender.MAIL.SMTPHost=xxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.From=xxxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.to <http://log4j.appender.MAIL.to>=xxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.Subject=Error Alert
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
and the exception I get:

This seems to indicate that the log4j SMTPAppender class is being found
correctly but then it cannot resolve the javax.mail package.
What is the best way to get the javax.mail package available to the pax
logging bundle? I found a number of postings that indicated this
requires an update to the jre or config properties file but I hesitate
to start randomly changing things I dont understand.
Thanks!
