In my project there is a Java Class which does:
import javax.activation.DataHandler;
My POM only has this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mail</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0-b01</version>
</dependency>
Build (mvn clean install) is working, because:
mvn dependency:tree
[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:tree (default-cli)
[INFO] \- javax.mail:mail:jar:1.5.0-b01:compile
[INFO] \- javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1:compile
But why does
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.mail/mail/1.5.0-b01
and also
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/mail/mail/1.5.0-b01/mail-1.5.0-b01.pom
say there are no dependencies ???
Another question:
Why does javax.mail:mail:jar:1.5.0-b01 (from 2013) not depend on the latest javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1.1 (from 2009)?
Because mvnrepository has it wrong, "javax.mail:mail:jar:1.5.0-b01" version does have dependency to "javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1", it's in it's parent:
Don't depend on mvnrepository very much, the truth is always in pom files. Btw. javalibs shows you the dependency:
Why the newest javax.mail version doesn't contain dependency to activation-api is probably due to transition to jakarta artifacts ... old javax dependencies cannot depend on new jakarta dependencies because Oracle said so ... :-( Newest javax.mail and activation artifacts are these:
