How to use JAMES (Java Mail Server) in windows 11 JDK 17

Question

I want to find an email server implementation, convert the code to a war file like all my other apps.
The JAMES project seems so ... finished. But for years I couldn't even started it.

Milestones:

i have extracted james-server-jpa-guice.zip file from https://james.apache.org/download.cgi and run:

D:\james>java -classpath 'james-server-jpa-app.lib/*' -javaagent:james-server-jpa-app.lib/openjpa-3.2.0.jar -Dlogback.configurationFile=conf/logback.xml -Dworking.directory=. org.apache.james.JPAJamesServerMain
Some product derivations are being skipped. For information about product derivation status, run:
java org.apache.openjpa.lib.conf.ProductDerivations
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProductDerivation:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/spi/PersistenceUnitInfo
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.james.JPAJamesServerMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.james.JPAJamesServerMain

no luck.

Even though i don't understand Spring, I extracted james-server-app-3.7.0-app.zip from https://james.apache.org/download.cgi and run in admin mode:

Could you put me in the right track.

I'm wondering why you'd want to run a mail server as a web app? — g00se, Apr 24 '22 at 13:56
Standardization of codes. I dont want programs, here and there. I want them, all in one place — Tugalsan Karabacak, Apr 24 '22 at 14:06
I don't understand the answer but right off the bat you're going to have difficulty getting the networking that a mail server needs to work from a web app. It might have changed since I first heard about it. Looking at the distro zip it looks as if the server itself supports some kind of web admin, so it might be all the other way around ;) — g00se, Apr 24 '22 at 14:10
@g00se What i mean is, when one make a jar file, (for security reasons) she need to create a new folder sharing to put it in; configure users for that sharing. And it creates complexity for users and maintainers. When one builds a war file, she will just put it in.... tomcat webapps. done. — Tugalsan Karabacak, Apr 25 '22 at 05:48
I'd be surprised if it can be done. But if you're lucky, from what I said before, it would appear then that you'd have a web app inside a mail server inside a web app ;) — g00se, Apr 25 '22 at 08:54
@Tugalsan Karabacak, Apache James Mail Server 3.x requires JDK 11, do not use JDK 17. — life888888, Jan 18 '23 at 12:49
@life888888 I have downloaded james-server-jpa-guice again from https://archive.apache.org/dist/james/server/3.7.3 also. with OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.18_10.zip it gave the same error. Now I will try the spring version — Tugalsan Karabacak, Jan 24 '23 at 08:14
@life888888 No, james-server-spring-app-3.7.3-app.zip also not working with OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_11.0.18_10.zip. — Tugalsan Karabacak, Jan 24 '23 at 08:24

Use

cd james-server-spring-app-3.7.3\bin
run.bat

If the windows firewall pops up and asks to allow the opening of the port, please allow the opening of the relevant port for Apache James Mail Server to use.

Do not use

james console

run.bat - log
