From 40fc260d456675e9ccbbe687c8380ea13823ee0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Brannen Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 18:20:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Updated required email dependencies in reference manual Beginning with Java 6, the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) is part of the JDK. Thus, there is no longer a need to explicitly include a dependency on `activation.jar` when using Spring's email support in Spring Framework 4.0 and higher which anyway requires Java 6 or higher. This commit therefore removes the JAF requirement from the reference manual. --- src/asciidoc/index.adoc | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/asciidoc/index.adoc b/src/asciidoc/index.adoc index 00a0e2f52f..96a003b4e1 100644 --- a/src/asciidoc/index.adoc +++ b/src/asciidoc/index.adoc @@ -46786,16 +46786,14 @@ For more information on Spring's transaction facilities, see the chapter entitle [[mail-introduction]] === Introduction -.Library dependencies **** -The following additional jars to be on the classpath of your application in order to be -able to use the Spring Framework's email library. +The following JAR needs to be on the classpath of your application in order to use +the Spring Framework's email library. -* The https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/Home[JavaMail] `mail.jar` library -* The http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jaf11-139815.html[JAF] - `activation.jar` library +* The https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/Home[JavaMail] library -All of these libraries are freely available on the web. +This library is freely available on the web -- for example, in Maven Central as +`com.sun.mail:javax.mail`. **** The Spring Framework provides a helpful utility library for sending email that shields
