But as I understand it, this is not a problem with the Sun libraries,
but with a build process that includes files it should include, ie
the geronimo jar files. So I am confused as to how maven is used.
The geronimo files are shipped with the Cocoon 2.1.x distribution
*because* the Sun JARs cannot be but the JavaMail APIs must still be
available to compile against. The geronimo JARs provide those APIs
(so it compiles), but not the implementation (so it doesn't function
at runtime). Hence if you want to actually use the mail functionality
in your Cocoon app you have to replace the geronimo JARs with the Sun
JARs.
Since Maven can legally retrieve the actual Sun JARs directly to
compile against, the geronimo ones are no longer needed. Problem solved.
OK, but it would be nice to have this "feature" documented better than
it is. It is a serious time waster as you get no feedback from any logs.
This is not information that belongs in the wiki but in the main page IMHO.
Anyway, that is my two cents.
