JavaMail Error. Transport.send(message) throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/security/ssl/EllipticCurvesExtension - jakarta-mail

Question

I am trying to send an email using Gmail SMTP via TLS. The code below seems correct but i get an error at Transport.send(message). I have tried all the solutions i could found over the internet including this to no avail.
Here is my dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>
And the send email code:
private static void sendEmail(String to, String title, String html) throws MessagingException {
System.out.println("Sending email to " + to);
senderEmail = "someEmail";
senderPassword = "senderPassword";
// create properties
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
// create session using properties
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(senderEmail, senderPassword);
}
});
//create message using session
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// prepare, then send email
message.setContent(html, "text/html; charset=utf-8");
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(senderEmail));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject(title);
//send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Done!");
}
I am using:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Netbeans 8.2
Payara Server 5.183
