class file for javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage not found

Question

I am getting following error while building my project.

City\controller\MyMailHelper.java:59: cannot access javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage
class file for javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage not found

In application code I am referring following imports.

import org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMailMessage;
import org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMessageHelper;

Spring dependency taken from the maven dependency tree of my project is given below . Could someone help me to identify which dependency is making this problem.

Answer 1

It appears you are missing a dependency on javax.mail.

Try adding this to your Maven dependencies.

<dependency>
   <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
   <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
   <version>1.4.7</version>
</dependency>
