We've discussed creating a subproject in James to maintain ASF-licensed JavaMail implementations, which historically has only really meant stores and session (providers). If it can include the core implementation as well, so be it.
Would it not be better to try and evolve it into a commons- package, though? It looks like it will be desirable from both James and Geronimo, and IIRC Maven is also something that could stand to benefit from it ...
I agree many ASF projects could benefit from an ASF-licensed JavaMail (any app in ASF that sends emails, so almost all of them). I would favor either James or Geronimo hosting it. Geronimo because it is a J2EE implementation and JavaMail is part of that, and James because we've suffered through JavaMail more than anyone, and hopefully will have related libraries (mbox stores, new transports, whatever).
These are longer-term goals, though; my initial focus will be getting it set up in Geronimo, and then bounce ideas of where it should live when it's ready :-)
Agreed.
