javax.mail.session not accesible-CodePudding

I wanted to use javax.mail.session for a project to send a e-mail. When I try to use the Session class the error "The package javax.mail.session is not accesible". I use eclipse 2022-09 and jdk-18.0.2.1 which I downloaded from the Oracle site. The jdk is located in C:\Program Files\Java. I tried to add requires java.desktop; to my module-info.java file but it didn't worked. Also I tried to use jdk1.8.0_181 for my project but it also does not work.

If there is a better way to send a gmail in java 18 I'm open for solutions.

thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

looks like you miss the javax.mail-api jar as a dependency in your project. Add it and it should work.

If you are using maven, you can add

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.mail/javax.mail-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.mail-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml

BTW: javax.mail-api has changed to jakarta.mail-api
