Best way to download JavaMail and JAF source?

What's the best way to download the source for JavaMail 1.4.1 and JAF 1.1.1?
 You can get the jars from Sun and the source from Glassfish, but for the
life of me I can't figure out how to make sure that the source I download
from Glassfish corresponds to the versions of the jars that I have.  I've
downloaded several versions and keep getting line number mismatches when debugging.


Thanks in advance,

Boris

Ya, sorry, there have been some bumps in the road on our transition to
open source.  The GlassFish source for JavaMail *should* correspond to
JavaMail 1.4.1.  There's even a CVS tag for it, but I don't think it's
changed since.  The "real" source code repository for JavaMail is still
internal to Sun.  I only sync it to the GlassFish repository occasionally.
And now I'm waiting for us to transition from CVS to Mercurial.

For debugging purposes, you probably ought to just run with the code you
can build from the source.  For that matter, you can always just use that
version if it works for you.

Also, there's a version of JavaMail in the java.net maven repository, and
it includes a corresponding source bundle that's good for debugging (but
not sufficient to rebuild it).

JAF is in a similar state to JavaMail, but it changes much less often.
