How to add java mail api in classpath

To add the Java Mail API to your classpath, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using Maven

If you're using Maven, you can add the Java Mail API as a dependency in your pom.xml file:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
        <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.2</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Then, run the command mvn clean package to update your project's dependencies.

Method 2: Using Gradle

If you're using Gradle, you can add the Java Mail API as a dependency in your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'javax.mail:mail:1.6.2'
}

Then, run the command gradle build to update your project's dependencies.

Method 3: Manually adding the JAR file

If you're not using a build tool, you can manually add the Java Mail API JAR file to your classpath:

Download the Java Mail API JAR file from the official website: https://javaee.github.io/javamail/
Place the JAR file in your project's lib directory (or any other directory that's included in your classpath).
Add the JAR file to your classpath by editing your project's build path or classpath settings. The exact steps may vary depending on your IDE or build tool.

Example: Adding the JAR file to the classpath in Eclipse

Right-click on your project in the Eclipse project explorer.
Select "Properties" from the context menu.
In the "Properties" dialog, select "Java Build Path" from the left-hand menu.
Click on the "Libraries" tab.
Click on the "Add External JARs..." button.
Select the Java Mail API JAR file from your project's lib directory.
Click "OK" to close the "Properties" dialog.

After adding the Java Mail API to your classpath, you should be able to use it in your Java code without any issues.
