ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1 fails to build here, where ant-javamail-1.7.0 worked all right. One notable difference between these two is the dropped special handling of jaf. Especially as the references to javax.activation seem to be part of the ant task sources, I guess this task should depend on jaf, no matter whether javamail depends on jaf as well or not. build-dep: [javac.ant] Compiling 1 source file to /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/build/classes [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:38: package javax.activation does not exist [javac.ant] import javax.activation.DataHandler; [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:39: package javax.activation does not exist [javac.ant] import javax.activation.FileDataSource; [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:73: package javax.activation does not exist [javac.ant] class StringDataSource implements javax.activation.DataSource { [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:215: cannot resolve symbol [javac.ant] symbol : class DataHandler [javac.ant] location: class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer [javac.ant] textbody.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sds)); [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:231: cannot resolve symbol [javac.ant] symbol : class FileDataSource [javac.ant] location: class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer [javac.ant] FileDataSource fileData = new FileDataSource(file); [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:231: cannot resolve symbol [javac.ant] symbol : class FileDataSource [javac.ant] location: class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer [javac.ant] FileDataSource fileData = new FileDataSource(file); [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:232: cannot resolve symbol [javac.ant] symbol : class DataHandler [javac.ant] location: class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer [javac.ant] DataHandler fileDataHandler = new DataHandler(fileData); [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java:232: cannot resolve symbol [javac.ant] symbol : class DataHandler [javac.ant] location: class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer [javac.ant] DataHandler fileDataHandler = new DataHandler(fileData); [javac.ant] ^ [javac.ant] 8 errors BUILD FAILED /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/ant-javamail-1.7.0-r1/work/apache-ant-1.7.0/build.xml:658: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Ah yes. The activation classes come with the jdk after 1.4. Should just virtual it.
The original problem was fixed meanwhile by adding sun-jaf dep back.
Virtual added.
