Help creating a Meeting Request for Outlook using JAVA

[al]

I have been trying to figure out a way to create a meeting request
programmatically using JAVA Mail. So far I was able to create an email
and a meeting that goes out as an attachment, which users can open and
accept/decline and so forth.

I have not been able to send this as an actual meeting request. I want
it to work as if a meeting reminder that comes from Google Calendar
(if set up to send reminders to other emails that use Outlook) and
shows up on Outlook Calendar.

I have tried several things but no success. I have not modified the
code after doing several attempts to fix it, so it might have a lot of
redundant information.

Any Help would be appreciated...

Thanks!!
