Update to Angus Mail

Closed this issue 5 months ago · 9 comments

The Jakarata Mail implementation was renamed to Angus Mail. With Angus Mail 2 the package names where changed from com.sun.mail.* to org.eclipse.angus.mail.*.

It would be nice if simple-java-mail was updated to use the latest Angus Mail release.

By the way: Thank you very much for providing simple-java-mail!

I can provide a PR if needed.

It's not that easy. You'd have to upgrade all upstream projects as well, like the smtp connection pool library. I'll deal with it.

OK. Now it is so painful to use SJM with the actual Spring Boot version. Thaks

Upgrade released in 8.6.0.

Looking at the dependency tree I've noticed one issue:
With the renaming to Angus Mail the Jakarta Activation was also renamed to Angus Activation. Right now Angus Activation is a dependency of the Core Module via Angus Mail.
The Outlook Module uses the Outlook Message Parser which still has Jakarta Activation as a dependency, so now I have both Angus and Jakarta Activation as dependencies.

Good catch. I'll get on it. It's also in java-reflection and as a transitive of jakarta.xml.bind-api

I got java-reflection sorted out, but jakarta.xml.bind-api 4.x.x -which internally updates to the Angus activation package- requires Java 11. Simple Java Mail is still on Java 8, since in 2023, still a third of all Java usage is Java 8 LTS. This is becoming a challenge.

Everything sorted out. Update released in 8.6.1.
