Try Commons Mail. This builds on the Java Mail API but makes it much more simple to use.

hey will common mail with work with gmail smtp server?

It works with any smtp server, just like any mail client.
You may also want to take a look at the Apache Commons Email library. It is featureful and easy to use.
You could do something along the lines of:
import org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail; ... String[] recipients = {"[email protected]", "[email protected]"}; SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail(); email.setHostName("mail.myserver.com"); for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) { email.addTo(recipients[i]); } email.setFrom("[email protected]", "Me"); email.setSubject("Test message"); email.setMsg("This is a simple test of commons-email"); email.send(); The sample code is taken from the Commons Email example page, modified to show adding multiple recipients. Hope that helps.

you need to authenticate properly, but when that is done, you can use it with gmail
Spring has a mail wrapper layer as well:

I think it's better to use JavaMail API and you can get some basic knowledge about this from following tutorial Fundamentals of the JavaMail API
