The following code is supposed to send email via gmail but it gives the following error:
On my gmail account I get a message that a sign in was prevented and I should use a secure app like gmail to access my account. The source code is as shown below:
public void doSendMail(){
username = txtFrom.getText();
password= new String(txtPassword.getPassword());
to = txtTo.getText();
subject = txtSubject.getText();
email_body = jTextArea1.getText();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "587");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator(){
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
}
);
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(username));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(email_body);
Transport.send(message);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Message Sent!","Sent",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e.toString());
}
}
What can I do to the code to make it send mail via gmail?

Your source code is perfect for sending email via gmail. May be you have to allow your account for less secure access via https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Here is your code. I made very little modification to run as standalone program. It requires two jars : 1) mail-1.4.7.jar and 2) activation-1.1.1.jar
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
/**
* Following jar are required:
* 1) mail-1.4.7.jar from http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/mail/mail/1.4.7/mail-1.4.7.jar
* 2) activation-1.1.1.jar from http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/activation/activation/1.1.1/activation-1.1.1.jar
