Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-175:
-----------------------------------------------

The javamail jar is a merged jar file that includes the javamail spec apis 
inside of this.  This was done to get around the configuration problems anybody 
who chose to use the SMTP provider kept running into.  Because the jars were 
split originally, the javamail apis were in the default classpath, but the 
provider classes were not, resulting in NoProviderFound exceptions.  In 2.0, 
the merged uber jar replaced the split setup, so the javamail jar file is the 
api replacement for the old javamail spec jar.  

In any event, this should be part of the server classpath, as this is a 
required component of the javaee5 specification.
