Javax mail jar download

The javax.mail API is a Java library for sending and receiving email. Here are the steps to download the javax.mail JAR file:

Option 1: Download from Maven Central

You can download the javax.mail JAR file from Maven Central, a popular repository for Java libraries. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Maven Central website: https://search.maven.org/
  2. Search for javax.mail in the search bar.
  3. Click on the javax.mail result to view its page.
  4. Click on the "Download" button next to the version you want to download (e.g., javax.mail-1.6.2.jar).
  5. Save the JAR file to your local machine.

Option 2: Download from Oracle

You can also download the javax.mail JAR file from Oracle's website. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Oracle website: https://www.oracle.com/
  2. Click on "Java" in the top navigation menu.
  3. Click on "Java SE" (Java Standard Edition).
  4. Click on "Downloads" and then "Java SE Development Kit (JDK)".
  5. Select the desired version of the JDK and click on the "Download" button.
  6. Once the download is complete, extract the JAR file from the downloaded ZIP file (e.g., javax.mail-1.6.2.jar).

Note: The javax.mail API is part of the Java EE (Enterprise Edition) platform, but it is also available as a standalone library. If you're using a Java EE application server, you may already have the javax.mail API included. In that case, you won't need to download it separately.

Additional steps:

After downloading the javax.mail JAR file, you'll need to add it to your Java project's classpath. This will allow your Java application to use the javax.mail API.

If you're using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, you can add the JAR file to your project's classpath by following these steps:

  1. Right-click on your project in the project explorer.
  2. Select "Properties" (or "Settings" in IntelliJ IDEA).
  3. Click on "Java Build Path" (or "Modules" in IntelliJ IDEA).
  4. Click on the "Libraries" tab (or "Dependencies" in IntelliJ IDEA).
  5. Click on the "Add External JARs" button (or "Add JARs" in IntelliJ IDEA).
  6. Select the javax.mail JAR file you downloaded and click "OK".

Alternatively, you can add the JAR file to your project's classpath by using the -cp or -classpath command-line option when running your Java application. For example:

java -cp javax.mail-1.6.2.jar:your-main-class.jar your.MainClass

Replace your-main-class.jar with the name of your main Java class file.
