[nycbug-talk] jsch, java ssh?

[Isaac Levy]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of JSch, (a native java ssh  
implimentation).

Good or bad, I find myself dealing with vendor sw which relies on it-  
so I'm trying to learnin about it's history.
It seems, in the Java world, I'm told everyone uses this library, it's  
the de-facto.  Additionally, popular things like the Eclipse IDE use it.

What do folks here think about completely non-openssh ssh  
implementations, let alone one in Java?  I mean, I can see positive  
and negative aspects right off the bat...  but the shock of a pure- 
java ssh is still sinking in...

Rocket,
