-----------------------------------------------------------
After debugging through the failed tests, I found out that Angus Mail is
required since CXF (or at least the failing test) depends on the
{{DataContentHandler}} s which are implicitly registered by the
[{{META-INF/mailcap}} file in the Angus Mail Jar
|https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/angus-mail/blob/2.0.3/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/mailcap].
Since I am not familiar enough with the code of CXF to determine whether it is
really needed at runtime, I prefer not to make any changes to the dependencies.

> Remove Jakarta Mail and Jakarta Activation-Impl Dependencies

>
> Key: CXF-9143
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-9143
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core, Simple Frontend
> Affects Versions: 4.1.2
> Reporter: Daniel Meier
> Priority: Major
>
> We are currently in the process of upgrading our application from Jakarta EE
> 8 to Jakarta EE 10 which of course also affects CXF. Our application also
> uses the Jakarta Mail API and to make progress during migration I just
> commented out the old dependency on the Sun Mail Implementation
> ({{com.sun.mail:jakarta.mail}}) and wanted to look at it at a later time. I
> then saw that a mail implementation (Apache Angus) was a transitive
> dependency of CXF. I looked at the source code of CXF and it seems like not
> even the Jakarta Mail API is used outside of test code.
> A implementation of the Jakarta Activation API (Apache Angus) is also a
> dependency of CXF, even though no SPI classes ({{MailcapRegistry}},
> {{MailcapRegistryProvider}}, {{MimeTypeRegistry}},
> {{MimeTypeRegistryProvider}}) are used.
> Would it be possible to remove those transitive Dependencies?
