"Getting Started" webpage says you need to manually install javax.activation and javax.mail -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRM-237 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-237 Project: Archiva Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Max Bowsher Priority: Minor The "Getting Started" webpage contains the following text: # Download the 1.0.2 activation zip from: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/javabeans/jaf102.html # Unpack the zip to get the jar # Run: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.activation -DartifactId=activation -Dversion=1.0.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=activation.jar # Download the 1.3.2 javamail zip from: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html # Unpack the zip to get the jar # Run: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.mail -DartifactId=mail -Dversion=1.3.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=javamail-1.3.2/mail.jar However, it appears to no longer be true - I suppose that whatever dependencies required those versions of the artifacts have upgraded to newer, less-license-encumbered versions. (Though, manual download of javax.resource.connector 1.0 is still required). I noticed this whilst building archiva starting with a completely empty local repository. No errors were generated regarding these artifacts, and after the build completed, the local repository contained javax.mail 1.4 and javax.activation 1.1. Therefore, I think the 6 lines quoted above can simply be deleted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
