Type converter confusion when camel-cxf and camel-mail are in same classpath

The CxfRsProducer needs to find a converter to take the String body of an exchange message and turn it into an Object[]. However when camel-mail is present in the classpath the converter search method picks:

com.sun.mail.imap.SortTerm[] org.apache.camel.component.mail.MailConverters.toSortTerm(String msg)

This causes the CxfRsProducer to bomb on a NoSuchMethodException.

If camel-mail is removed, the CxfRsProducer client works, finding the right String -> Object[] converter.
