When I had this problem  I had included the mail-api jar in my maven pom file   That s the API specification only   The fix is to replace this    lt  -- DO NOT USE - it s just the API  not an implementation -- gt   lt groupId gt javax mail lt  groupId gt   lt artifactId gt javax mail-api lt  artifactId gt    with the reference implementation of that api    lt groupId gt com sun mail lt  groupId gt   lt artifactId gt javax mail lt  artifactId gt    I know it has sun in the package name  but that s the latest version   I learned this from https   stackoverflow com a 28935760 1128668

Even I was facing a similar error  Try below 2 steps  the first of which has been recommended here already  -   1  Add the dependencies to your pom xml            lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt javax mail lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt mail lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 1 4 5 lt  version gt           lt  dependency gt            lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt javax activation lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt activation lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 1 1 1 lt  version gt           lt  dependency gt     If that doesn t work  manually place the jar files in your  m2 repository javax  lt folder gt   lt version gt   directory

You need to add two jars into the WEB-INF lib directory or your webapp  or lib directory of the server     mail jar - contains the actual smtp implmentation activation jar - needed by mail jar

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   Useful source  http   haveacafe wordpress com 2008 09 26 113

Add following to your maven dependency       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt javax mail lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt mail lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 4 5 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt        lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt javax activation lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt activation lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 1 1 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt

While it s possible that this is due to a jar file missing from your classpath  it may not be   It is important to keep two or three different exceptions strait in our head in this case    java lang ClassNotFoundException  This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath   This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition  and the class did not exist on the classpath  java lang NoClassDefFoundError  This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it   This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath   Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath  but it failed for some reason - now we re trying again  but we re not even going to try to load it  because we failed loading it earlier   The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError  indicating a failure in the static initialization block  or any number of other problems   The point is  a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem    I would look at the source for javax mail Authenticator  and see what it is doing in it s static initializer   Look at static variable initialization and the static block  if there is one    If you aren t getting a ClassNotFoundException prior to the NoClassDefFoundError  you re almost guaranteed that it s a static initialization problem   I have seen similar errors quite frequently when the hosts file incorrectly defines the localhost address  and the static initialization block relies on InetAddress getLocalHost    127 0 0 1 should point to  localhost   and probably also localhost localdomain   It should NOT point to the actual host name of the machine  although for some reason  many older RedHat Linux installers liked to set it incorrectly

[java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator, whats wrong?
