------------------------------

SUCCESS: Integrated in Synapse - Trunk #4667 (See 
[https://builds.apache.org/job/Synapse%20-%20Trunk/4667/])
Avoid the dependency on JavaMail (which is no longer a dependency of Axiom; see 
AXIOM-418). (veithen: rev 1509451)

>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: API
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.13

> In earlier versions of Axiom, MIME processing was implemented using JavaMail. 
> In Axiom 1.2.13 we use MIME4J to parse MIME messages and we have our own code 
> to write MIME messages (see org.apache.axiom.mime.MultipartWriter). This 
> means that we should be able to get rid of the JavaMail dependency. 
> Currently, JavaMail is still used in the following places:
> 1. There are several places where javax.mail.internet.ContentType is used to 
> parse MIME types. That needs to be replaced by something equivalent, maybe 
> javax.activation.MimeType. Note that javax.mail.internet.ContentType is not 
> used in any public API.
> 2. org.apache.axiom.attachments.lifecycle.impl.FileAccessor has several 
> methods that declare javax.mail.MessagingException, although that exception 
> is never thrown. Removing that exception would not break binary 
> compatibility, but may break source code compatibility. However, it is very 
> unlikely that any existing application code is using or extending the 
> FileAccessor class (it is an SPI that is used by the Attachments class).
> 3. The classes in org.apache.axiom.mime.impl.javamail use JavaMail. They 
> provide an implementation of the MultipartWriter API. However, it is not used 
> by default (the default implementation is in 
> org.apache.axiom.mime.impl.axiom). It only exists to allow users to switch 
> back to JavaMail based MIME serialization in case issues are discovered in 
> the org.apache.axiom.mime.impl.axiom implementation. Since no issues have 
> ever been reported, we could move that implementation to axiom-compat so that 
> it remains available but is no longer included in axiom-api.
> 4. org.apache.axiom.om.util.TextHelper has several methods that declare 
> javax.mail.MessagingException. Probably TextHelper can be deprecated and 
> moved to axiom-compat.
> 5. DataSourceUtils#getSize(DataSource) recognizes 
> javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource. The code should be changed to use 
> reflection so that it works if JavaMail is not present.
