Java Mail Program - Please Help!

Hi everyone, I am new to Java (been learnig for about 6 months) and I was hoping you could help me.
I would like to write a program to be able to send and receive email (a basic version of outlook express), the prblem is that i have no idea on how to start such a program as i have only written programs such as calculators before.
I was hoping someone could tell me how to begin such a challenging program, which java package is best to create such a program, Jbuilder or the normal javac compiler.
Thanks everyone for your help

See the Java mail API for more details (javax.mail if I remember well). This can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html
Hope it helps,
Stephane

Hi Rob, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is that the Install Disk?
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4...

How to attach a word file in JAVA mail? Please help

I am a JAVA rookie and I have problem attaching a word file using javamail. I searched almost all the forum but still couldn't find the solution.
Sorry for the reposting. But can anybody please help me out? Your any words or links will be highly appreciated!

If you want to include an attachment with your message, you need to build up the parts, quite literally, because the name of the applicable interface is Part. The content of your Message will consist of multiple parts within a Multipart object. Part one of the message is a BodyPart that contains the message content. Part two of the message is a BodyPart that contains the attachment. The attachment itself is specified as a DataSource. You don't have to actually read the attachment.
You start in the same way as you do for a message without an attachment. Create the message from the session and initialize the headers:
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("JDC Attachment");
However here you need to create the Multipart object:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
For part one, create a BodyPart and set the text to be a message. Then, add the BodyPart to the Multipart you just created.
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText("Here's the file");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
For part two, you need to create a BodyPart again, but this time you need to create a DataSource for the file.
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
Use a DataHandler object to attach the data source to the message. Simply create a DataHandler for the source and attach it to the message:
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(source));
Remember to set the filename of the attachment. This permits the recipient to know the name (and type) of the received file.
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
Attach part two in the same way as part one:
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
And as a final step before sending, attach the Multipart to the Message:
message.setContent(multipart);

Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
Please help me in solving this problem.

Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

I have checked the cooling fan, and it's working, and I took it to an IT technician and he said my hardware is allright, so is it a problem from the OS it self??
OS X(10.8.5)

Restart with the Option key held down and the Mac OS X install disk inserted, provide the firmware password, click on the DVD, press the button with the straight arrow, access the firmware settings, disable the password, and use FireWire Target Disk mode. If you can't do that or it doesn't work, contact Apple.

Error while running HelloWorld program Please Help me

Hi Friends! I am doing my hello world program...while running i m getting the below error...please help me regarding this...
The target WSCO.java cannot be started as a servlet, because the class oracle.apps.ak.ws.webui.WSCO does not extend javax.servlet.GenericServlet.
The target WSCO.java cannot be started as an application, because the class oracle.apps.ak.ws.webui.WSCO does not have a main method.

Hi,
For building a simple hello world page, follow these steps:
1) Create a New OA Workspace and a new OA Project. Make sure that package name should be prefixed by some custom name like:
xx.oracle.apps.ak.hello
2) Create new OA Page under webui:
xx.oracle.apps.ak.hello.webui.XxHelloWorldPG
3) Create a new Application module, XxHelloWorldAM in below package:
xx.oracle.apps.ak.hello.server.XxHelloWorldAM
4) Attach this AM to your XxHelloWorldPG.
5) Now create regions and items under pageLayout region of this page.
6) Add a controller to pageLayout region in webui package:
xx.oracle.apps.ak.hello.webui.XxHelloWorldCO
Also you can add a button on the page and write some code in PFR method of your controller.

Problem compiling my first program; Please Help me!

Please HELP, what am I doing wrong?
For over 5hours I have been trying to figure out how to compile a simple Hello world program using sdk1.3.1_02/j2re1.3.1_02 and I am getting the following errors: helloworld.java:2 cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class string
location : class helloworld
cannot reolve the string symbol
symbol : class out
location : package system
I want to program in java so badly but I am trying to get my environment set so that I can take off. To compile my first program has been a disaster!!
This is my path:
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.3.1_02\BIN
Thanks very much in advance
::(

Java is case sensitive,
use String instead of string. and System.out instead of system.out

Connecting two programs - please help

Hi, I'm new here, so I'd like to say 'hi' to everyone :) I'm a freshman in the java comunity, so please be gentle.
Firs of all I'd like to ask how to resolve the first problem. I've got the code which is responsible for convert a html document to the txt file. It looks like:
import javax.swing.text.html.parser.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TextFromHtml extends HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback{
static String trimmss(String o){
   return (o.trim()).replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
public void handleText(char[] data, int pos){
try{
      String o = new String(data);
      PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("test.txt", true)));
      o = trimmss(o);
      pw.println(o);
      //pw.close();
     catch (IOException exc){}
System.out.println(new String(data));
public static void main(String args[]){
    try{
      String s = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the name of the file you want to convert from html to txt.");
      Reader r = new FileReader(s);
      ParserDelegator parser = new ParserDelegator();
      HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback callback = new TextFromHtml();
      parser.parse(r, callback, true);
    catch (IOException e){
      e.printStackTrace();
     System.exit(0);
}But unfortunately I don't know how to change this code to obtain such situation as making a new txt file without blank spaces > 0 and erasing the \n new lines. I'd like to get a txt file, which contains of line-by-line text. Could you please help me - tell & show me how to do that? I'd be very grateful
Regards, skullscape.

Hi Skullscape,
My apologies for not getting a response on this forum, but this may have been because this is a fairly generic Java programming question, rather than an issue specific to the JSE product, the purpose of this particular forum.
So may I suggest that you check out http://java.sun.com/ which has a full set of facilities for those such as yourself who are new to Java programming.
Although by now you nay not be such a novice :-)
