 Description  « Hide
The James artifacts should be deployed on the central Maven repository for easy access by external projects that want to implement custom mailets or embed individual James components. The NOTICE/LICENSE files should be included in the jar files, and at least simple POM files with correct dependencies should be maintained. Additionally, as mentioned by Stefano Bagnara on the server-dev mailing list: "[...] it is not only a matter of gpg signing, adding a pom and submit the package to the repository: we should first VOTE to release the JARs alone."

About "correct dependencies" I have to add that we have some custom dependency in JAMES Server that will not be possible to make available via maven repository.

As you can see in our stage folder and in the current pom.xml dependencies we depend on "patched" versions of 3rd party (or other ASF projects) libraries:
cornerstone-socket-impl-2.1-patched.jar
cornerstone-datasources-impl-2.1-patched.jar
bcmail-jdk14-workaround-129.jar

You ask why we depend on patched cornerstone libraries? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXLBR-30
About bcmail I should check if the newest releases still have the problem I foound with the 129 (there was a missing class in bcmail: the workaround is needed to avoid dependencies on the full bouncycastle JCE).

Perhaps a good starting point would be to deploy just the Mailet API jar file. It doesn't have such troublesome dependencies and is probably the most important dependency for external projects that want to integrate with James.

I think that this has been resolved by the factoring out of the mailet stuff into separate products.

For example:

http://james.apache.org/mailet/api/ has been released
http://james.apache.org/mailet/base/ is being released

More releases are expected in due course
