Danny, I took a quick look at the JavaMail licence and its pretty huge and I"m not too hot at reading big complex licences full of legal speak. Could we redistribute Sun's JavaMail API in binary form as part of the Geronimo project? If so could we also put the jar in the Maven repository to avoid painful user-intervention to get Geronimo to build? (i.e. so that the build process of Geronimo could auto-download Sun's JavaMail API?).
At the moment - no. But there are discussion in process. Stephen.
If we can do the above then I agree creating a clone of the JavaMail API with the various required implementation code to conform to the API might not be a good idea - we might as well just use Sun's API distro. I guess it depends on how we're allowed to reuse Sun's API distro.
