Answer 1

I once ran into this situation and I had the dependencies in classpath. The solution was to include javax.mail and javax.activation libraries in the container's (eg. tomcat) lib folder. Using maven -set them to provided scope and it should work. You will have shared email libs in classpath for all projects.
