nntp client

I need to write an nntp client, but I can't build the classpathx 
javamail providers.  In order to do so, I need inetlib, which I can't 
find a download link for so I had to get out of cvs.  When I tried to 
build that I got:

checking for SASL... configure: error: can't find SASL classes; use 
--with-sasl

Now I don't know why sasl is required but I downloaded 
http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-acap-api-java-v1.a1.tar.gz 
  When I tried to build that I got:


[jks@jks-desktop ~/work/gnumail/cyrus-acap-api-java-v1.a1]$ java 
JavaLex.Main Yylex.lex
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: JavaLex/Main
make: *** [Yylex.java] Error 1

So I had to download JLex, rename it so that cyrus was happy, build it, 
and then I got:

[jks@jks-desktop ~/work/gnumail/cyrus-acap-api-java-v1.a1]$ make
java JavaLex.Main Yylex.lex

... so now I'm stuck.  Are there jar files of these things anywhere?
