While sending email I am getting the following errors using commons-email-1.3.
I have downloaded and added external jar's to the project.
Please help me fix this problem!
package mypkg;
import org.apache.commons.mail.DefaultAuthenticator;
import org.apache.commons.mail.Email;
import org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail;
public class sendingmail {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Email email = new SimpleEmail();
email.setSmtpPort(587);
email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator("myid","mypwd")); //Here is the error
email.setDebug(false);
email.setHostName("smtp.gmail.com");
email.setFrom("me@gmail.com");
email.setSubject("Hi");
email.setMsg("This is a test mail ... :-)");
email.addTo("you@gmail.com");
email.setTLS(true);
email.send();
System.out.println("Mail sent!");
}
}
The line that gives the error is
email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator("myid","mypwd"));
The error message is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
The type javax.mail.Authenticator cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
The method setAuthenticator(Authenticator) from the type Email refers to the missing type Authenticator at mypkg.mailtest.main(mailtest.java:13)
