GreenMail is an open source, intuitive and easy-to-use test suite of email servers for testing purposes. Supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP with SSL socket support. GreenMail also provides a JBoss GreenMail Service. GreenMail is the fist and only library that offers a test framework for both receiving and retrieving emails from Java.

The GreenMail project welcomes any contribution, so go ahead and fork/open a pull request! See the guidelines below.

Note: GreenMail recently moved to Github and was previously hosted on SF.

• Build GreenMail from source

  mvn clean install

  Make sure you got Maven 3.0.5+ or higher.

• Build the Maven site (and the optional example report)

  mvn site -Psite

• Build and deploy a release

  For a tagged release and deployment to Sonatype OpenSource Repository Hosting and later syncing to Maven Central, do

  mvn clean deploy -Prelease,release-ossrh

• Build and deploy a snapshot

  For a Maven Snapshot deployment to Sonatype, do

  mvn clean deploy -Prelease-ossrh

Please set your code formatter to use 4 spaces for indentation of Java files (not tabs) and to two spaces for xml files (like the pom.xml)

We have the pom.xml in the root where we set the versions of all dependencies to keep them consistent among subprojects. Please do not add any version tags into the child pom.xml files.

The best strategy for opening a pull request after a fork is to add the this repository ( https://github.com/greenmail-mail-test/greenmail ) as the "upstream" to your .git/config such as:

[remote "upstream"]
url = https://github.com/greenmail-mail-test/greenmail.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

Then you fetch "upstream" and create a new branch at upstream/master (name it issue-XXX or something like that). Now you can add commits on that branch and then create a pull request for that branch (after pushing it to your github). That way commits are isolated for one feature.

Please also create a test for every feature you add. We know that currently there aren't many tests but in the medium term we want to increase test coverage.
