JavaMail API on JDK 1.6
After going through README of JavaMail 1.4, i realised that it is not tested on JDK 1.6.
Snippet from README
The JavaMail API supports JDK 1.4 or higher. Note that we have
currently tested this implementation only with JDK 1.4 and 1.5.

I have few queries.
Am i using wrong JavaMail version?
If not then, has anybody tested/usedJavaMail 1.4 with JDK 1.6?
Any issues faced?
# 1
JDK 1.6 was release long after JavaMail 1.4 was released, which would make
it hard to test JavaMail 1.4 on JDK 1.6. Since the release of JDK 1.6 I've used
JavaMail 1.4 on JDK 1.6 with no problems. Note that the JavaBeans Activation
Framework (JAF, aka activation.jar) is included in JDK 1.6.
# 2
I understand that JDK 1.6 was released after JavaMail 1.4 was released.
But we want to upgrade our product to use JDK 1.6 and hence we need to upgrade JavaMail as well.
Thanks for the input regarding JAF.
Do you suggest building JavaMail with JDK 1.6, or i shall use it as it is?
