Hi Mathias,

indeed this plug-in uses SSL connections but still not all of this  
functionality is in SSH console we have. E.g. dynamically creation of  
truststore. And this factory in fact is not only for SSL connections (as a  
factory it handles all kind of connections directly to hosts).
You're right - reinventing the wheel is a waiste of resources, but  
sometimes the functionality is so simple that it is faster to write sth  
from scratch then to understand and find appropriate API, and... to add  
more dependencies to other plug-ins.
