Description

**[Elliotte Rusty Harold](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=elharo)** opened **[MCHANGES-463](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHANGES-463?redirect=false)** and commented

This never got out of alpha, was archived over a decade ago, is compiled with Java 1.4, and seems unlikely to keep working in the future, if it even works now. Figure out how to replace this.

Could find an alternative implementation or maybe inline the few classes we need.

Research direction

Start by checking where plexus-mail-sender-javamail is used in the Maven Changes Plugin and reviewing the linked PR #106. Compare an alternative implementation with inlining the few required classes; done means the archived Java 1.4 dependency has been replaced and the plugin continues to work.
