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

Hi Woonsan,

I looked briefly at the activation/javamail dependencies and how these 
supposedly *can* completelyreplaced with geronimo specs and implementations.
I think the implementation classes within activation-1.1.jar won't be 
needed/used then (or at all even).
Documentation about replacing javamail with geronimo is very limited, but the 
following blog post seems helpful, especially in the context of cxf: 
http://sdomsta.blogspot.com/2009/03/java-mail-smtp-transport-provider.html

If I understand it correctly, the activation and javamail jars can be excluded 
if we just add an dependency on the Geronimo JavaMail Bundle pom and explicitly 
exclude activation/javamail from whatever dependency pulls them in:

  org.apache.geronimo.javamail:geronimo-javamail_1.4:1.7:pom

That one will pull in all the needed dependencies:

    org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-activation_1.1_spec:1.0.2:jar
    org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec:1.6:jar
    org.apache.geronimo.javamail:geronimo-javamail_1.4_provider:1.7:jar

Testing if it really works without the activation/javamail jars should be easy 
by configuring an smtp server and trying to send an email through the self 
registration portlet.

>          Components: Dependencies
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.1
>            Reporter: Woonsan Ko
>            Assignee: Woonsan Ko
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 2.2.1
>
>
> Some dependencies are duplicate, so we need to reduce the redundancies.
> For example, I found the followings need to be refined:
> (1) In components/jetspeed-registry,
>      javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:jar:2.1:compile could be 
>      replaced by org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jaxb_2.1_spec:1.0
>      Accordingly, the transitive dependencies could be replaced as well: 
>      stax-api-1.0-2.jar by geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec-1.0.1.jar
>     (By the way, we still need to keep both activation-1.1.jar 
> geronimo-activation_1.1_spec-1.0.2.jar
>      because activation.jar contains implementations as well as interfaces.)
> (2) In components/jetspeed-cm and in other components:
>     javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B:runtime could be
>     replaced by org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.1_spec.
> (3) In components/jetspeed-portal
>     mail-1.3.3.jar could be replaced by geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.6.jar
>     (geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.6.jar seems to have been used by CXF 
> already.)
