Start Apache James with jdk 1.7

Question

I have tried to run the apache-james-3.0-beta4 server on Linux Mint 64bit (Debian) with Java jdk 1.7u17, but it didn't work due to the JAXB library bug. According to the documentation different jar file should be downloaded (http://jaxb.java.net/2.1.13/JAXB2_20100510.jar) and put into the conf/lib directory. I did that, but the problem is still there. When I switched to jdk 1.6, everything started to work fine.

Have anybody solved this problem?

Here is a part of the stack trace:

I haven't experienced this problem with James (but I have form a JBoss perspective), and to fix it you had to explicitly state the JAR file in your classpath before any wildcards. Maybe that will help — Jason Sperske, Apr 22 '13 at 18:38
It seems that next beta5 version would be fixed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1450 — Saša, Apr 22 '13 at 19:00
No, beta5-854 doesn't work either. Different stack trace though. — Saša, Apr 22 '13 at 20:30
maybe it's related to this one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1451 — ieugen, Apr 23 '13 at 14:24

The file I have downloaded was not the newest. When I have downloaded newer version of beta5 it worked fine.

Link is broken.. you can find the beta5 here https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/james/apache-james/3.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT/ – Vittorio Cozzolino Dec 04 '13 at 15:14
Ya, every direct link would brake from time2time, when new revisions is available. They are keeping available only last 2 revisions. You can see which revision is currently available there and pick which you like. – Saša Dec 11 '13 at 17:27
