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?

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.

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?

Use it as is.JDK 1.6 is completely compatible with JDK 1.5. If you find somethingthat worked on JDK 1.5 and doesn't work on JDK 1.6, the JDK teamwould like to hear about it.
