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:

Answer 1

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