Summary: JMail Plugin initial release

Initial Comment:
   1. Name- JMailPlugin.
   2. Version Number- 1.0.
   3. All Requirements- 
          * JDK compatibility - 1.3
          * jEdit version - 4.2
          * plugin dependencies - none
          * required third-party applications (indicate
version if applicable)
          * libraries to be bundled with the release -
mail.jar activation.jar (part of J2EE)
   4. Announcement- initial Plugin Central release.
   5. Source Code- under CVS tagged JMAIL-1-0.
   6. Descriptions- A plugin to read and send Mails.

The plugin currently supports the following
   * Read mails from POP/IMAP 
   * Send/reply/forward mails using SMTP
   * Able to connect to multiple account simultaneoously
   * You can view each individual attachment in jEdit
   * you can save individual/all attachments

Note that currently jEdit creates a separate
JARClassLoader for each jar it loads and this causes
problems with the mail APIs. So the ant file creates a
merged_mail.jar merging mail.jar and activation.jar

Ping!

Prakash,

Do you want this in the next release?  If so you need to get
this how you'd like it so I can package it before the end of
the month

Got this from the main Plugin packager:

1. I don't think you want to use temporary buffers for visible
buffers, as it creates problems with the buffer switcher.  For
example, if editing a file then opening a message, the
buffer switcher
still says the previous buffer is open.  Then manually
closing the
buffer generates an error.  I believe temporary buffers are for
searching and whatnot (not for display and editing) -- I
could be
wrong about that, though.

I'd rather not release the plugin to Plugin Central with the
temporary
buffer issue, as just testing/experimenting with the plugin
I got
numerous stack traces before I figured out what was going on.

OK.  Got it up and running, but I can't get it to connect to
get mail.  Will try again tomorrow with a different mail
server.  Getting:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed;
  nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: Unexpected response: 220
smtp-send.myrealbox.com Novonyx SMTP ready $Revision: 1.4 $

myrealbox is the smtp server I was testing with.   The rest
I don't know about.  Any help would be appreciated.

In the meantime, jEdit is saying. "[warning] JMailPlugin:
jmail.JMailPlugin should extend EditPlugin not EBPlugin
since it has an empty handleMessage()".  I leave that one up
to you.

Also, here's the diff I had to do to get your build file
working with the standard build method:

The index.html file I created should be attached to this issue.

Working.   Needs an index.html file (for documentation) so I
am putting in a very basic one.  If yoiu want a good one,
let me know.
