Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Is jsch finally dead?

[Matthias Sohn <matthias.sohn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also see this earlier discussion [1] on this list.

The biggest problem with jsch is that there seems to be no known public source code repository containing

the project's real source code history including tests.

• There are a couple of public jsch repositories [2] but they all seem to contain just snapshots of
  source archives downloaded from Maven central. None of these repositories contain any jsch tests.
• There are the source archives available on Maven Central [3] 
• and zip archives uploaded on sourceforge [4].

I tried several times to reach the jsch maintainer and his company but never got a response.

We implemented a couple of workarounds around jsch bugs in JGit and are tired to do so.

Hence Thomas Wolf started an alternative implementation for JGit and EGit based on Apache Mina sshd.

It looks like. We use it in the IDE and in EGit.

This question has been asked before, but I think it's time to ask it again. The last version of jsch was 0.1.54 in Sep 2016 and there doesn't seem to have been any development since then. Given the number of projects that depend on a decent ssh implementation, and the numerous bugs that still exist in jsch, what are the plans for maintaining and/or replacing it?

Thanks,
Greg
