Answer 1

well as said by my fellow poster googling could have given you quick results.
Anyways,if you are unable to do so checkout the below code snippet.
SendMail.java:
===========
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;  
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.activation.*;
* @Author RaHuL
* uses SMTP to send Email.
public class SendMail {
    /** Method used to read contents of html/text/XML file */
    public String readFile(String fileName){
       StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
       BufferedReader input = null;
       try{
           input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
           String str = null;
           while ((str = input.readLine()) != null){    
                  sb.append(line);
       }catch(Exception exp){
           exp.printStackTrace();
       }finally{
              try {
                    if (input!= null)  
                      input.close(); 
               }catch (Exception ex) {
                     ex.printStackTrace();
       return sb.toString();
    /** Send an HTML Email with the specific subject to specfic toAddress based on specified fromAddress & Smtp Hostname
      * and returns true on success.
    public boolean sendMail(String toAddress,String fromAddress,String hostName,String subject,String htmlMessage,String contentType) {
       boolean flag = false;    
        try {
             String to = toAddress;
             String from = fromAddress;     
             String host = hostName;
             // Setting Mail properties
             Properties props = new Properties();
             props.put("mail.smtp.host",host);
             props.put("mail.debug","true");
             // Getting a New Instance Generated by the API
             Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
               NOTE: a Mail Session could be configured and could be got from the Container via JNDI
                     which could be a better practise.
            // Instantiate a message
            Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            //Set message attributes
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
            msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
            // Setting Subject Type
            msg.setSubject(subject);
            msg.setSentDate(new Date());
            // Setting Content Type
            msg.setContent(contentType);
            // Set message content
            msg.setText(htmlMessage);
            //Send the message
            Transport.send(msg);
            flag = true;
        }catch (Exception mex) {
         // Prints all nested (chained) exceptions as well
            mex.printStackTrace();
     return flag;
    public static void main(String args[]){
        SendMail sm = new SendMail();
        String htmlMessage = sm.readFile("myHtmlFile.html");
        boolean flag = sm.sendMail("[email protected]","[email protected]","your.smtp.server","EMail SubJect",htmlMessage,"text/html");
        if(flag)
          System.out.println("MAIL SENT SUCCEFULLY");
         else
          System.out.println("MAIL SENDING FAILURE");                          
}NOTE:
=====
Make sure you inculde javamail & java activation libraries.
