Which artifact for org.springframework.mail?

Question

I\'d like to use spring support for sending mails. My project is built with maven-2 and I use spring-core 2.5.5 I tried to look in maven central repo for artifact to include in

Answer 1

The mail stuff is found, rather bizarrely, in the context-support artifact.

Answer 2

For using MailSender and SimpleMailMessage through Spring you can use these imports in your code:

import org.springframework.mail.MailSender;
import org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage;

And add their jars in your project.

Otherwise if you are using maven then you have to make these imports in your source and then add dependencies :

1. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-support/2.0.6
2. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-context-support/3.2.0.RELEASE

You will get the mail support from both of them.
