more alfresco pain

This time I tried to send e-mails when new documents are added. I thought this would be simple. (With Alfresco labs 3.1)
First I got errors like:

20:08:32,529  ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter]
Failed to send email to 'amanica@localhost'
as the address is incorrectly formatted

Eventually I figured out my test addresses are not acceptable to javamail. I had to setup amanica@localhost.dev before it worked.

Next I got the following:

20:08:33,310  ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter]
Failed to send email to [root, test]
org.springframework.mail.MailPreparationException:
Could not prepare mail; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter.executeImpl(MailActionExecuter.java:352

And I think setting a e-mail address for the admin user fixed that.

Thirdly it only wanted to send these rule e-mails from alfresco@alfresco.com, but if I copy slightly newer versions of
MailActionExecuter$1.class and MailActionExecuter.class into
${ALF_HOME}/tomcat/shared/classes/org/alfresco/repo/action/executer/
it works. I don't know if that breaks anything else in the process.

And finally, I'm still unhappy that they don't ship with oracle hibernate mapping files in the community edition, even in version 3.2 .

</sqlmap>

Like eclipse and maven, its painfull but theres nothing better :(
