Here is the full code You can use the following code. This is working Fine for me

class SendMail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("In side main()---------------------");

    Properties props = new Properties();


    props.put("mail.smtp.host", "hostname");
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", "port");//

    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "port");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
            "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");



    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
            new javax.mail.Authenticator() {

                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                    System.out
                            .println("In side getPasswordAuthentication------------------And Before returning PasswordAuthentication");
                    return new PasswordAuthentication("from@gmail.com",
                            "password");

                }

            });
    System.out
            .println("mail and password has been sent********************");
    try {
        System.out
                .println("we are  in try{} block.................................");
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("from@gmail.com"));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                InternetAddress.parse("to@gmail.com"));
        message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
        message.setText("Dear User," + "\n\n This is testing only!");

        Transport.send(message);

        System.out
                .println("Mail has been sent successfully..........................");

    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        System.out.println("we are in catch block...................");
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
}

}
