MboxIterator not in Apache Mime4J

Question

I downloaded the binaries of the latest stable version of apache-mime4j (0.7.2).

Yet, I fail to compile the next code since MboxIterator & CharBufferWrapper classes are not found.

final File mbox = new File("path/name.mbox");
for (CharBufferWrapper message : MboxIterator.fromFile(mbox).charset(ENCODER.charset()).build()) 
{do something}

The jars included in my build path: apache-mime4j-core-0.7.2.jar, apache-mime4j-dom-0.7.2.jar.

Am I using the wrong jars or version?

Answer 1

I had the same problem but I ended getting it to work by doing a little research.

The classes you mention, at least by what I found, are not included into Mime4J, so you have to code them yourself. Thanks to the devs, they got them uploaded in the following link: MBoxIterator needed classes.

Hope those solve the problem.

You can clone the current snaphshot of the mime4j project from

• http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mime4j/trunk/

to your personal github account

or use my clone:

• https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/james-mime4j

and your MBoxIterator is here:

• https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/james-mime4j/tree/trunk/mbox/src/main/java/org/apache/james/mime4j/mboxiterator
