JavaMail is now available in Maven Central repository.
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>
If you want to use the core JavaMail API to send email, you have to get the JavaMail library – mail.jar and activation.jar. Unfortunately, those libraries are not available in the Maven central repository, you have to download it from java.Net maven repository.
