Outlook MSG to MimeMessage in Java

Is there any way (open source way) to convert Outlook .msg to MimeMessage so that someone can work with msg files in Java?

There is a library named MsgParser developed for working with .msg files but this library does not give an option to convert .msg to MimeMessage, it has its own Message class. I really need to convert the msg to MimeMessage.

If there is no way to do it in Java, is there any open-source tool for linux which makes conversion from command line?

You can use this code to convert outlooks msg files to eml. I picked up the code and library from: https://github.com/ctabin/jotlmsg Note that jotlmsg requires apache POI + dependencies and Javax.mail

    package MsgToMime;
    import ch.astorm.jotlmsg.OutlookMessage;
    import java.io.File;
    import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

    public class MsgToMime {

        public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable{

            OutlookMessage message0 = new OutlookMessage(new File("myMessage.msg"));
            MimeMessage mimeMessage = message0.toMimeMessage();
            mimeMessage.writeTo(new FileOutputStream(new File("myMessage.eml")));   

        }

    }
