You're right the SDK was meant to be that, but we got so bogged down in Avalon "issues" it never really got finished. One idea I had for it was that it would be possible to start a minimal james which would take its input from ascii files (mbox/maildir possibly) and just pump them through the mailet pipeline so that mailet applications could become testable without invoking all the other bits of james.
sounds good (not sure whether commons-email is able to read ASCII in mbox or /maildir format ATM but that code would make a good addition to the library.) ATM i'm using a stripped down james with SMTP serving on a high with everything else stripped out. i'm using commons-email to create test messages to play around with. would probably want to move to unit testing when i get a little more serious. i'll try to find some time to tidy up the SDK i'm using ATM and post it to JIRA as a starting point. would probably need some changes to the build script so that variable content (such as the mailet classes and the jars) were dynamically created for each release. - robert
