I have a comment for your ssh/sftp client(using jsch).

As you know, Eclipse SDK 3.2 RC4(and previous) has included jsch and
implemented following functionalities under org.eclipse.team.cvs.* plug-ins,
  * proxy, caching and reconnecting mechanism for ssh session,
  * preference for key-pair generation and host-key management,
  * GUIs for authentications and messages from jsch and preferences.

I guess you have already implemented(or will implement) some of them,
but it must be better to re-use them in your plug-in.

So, I think there should exist org.eclipse.jsch.{core,ui} plug-ins(
like org.eclipse.ant.*) and above functionality should be moved to
under them.  If there are such plug-ins, you can re-use above functionality
into your plug-in without adding dependencies for CVS plug-ins. 

How do you think?

   |Atsuhiko Yamanaka is offering an ssh / sftp implementation for
   |Team/Extras from his website (www.jcraft.com) which he declared he
   |would be willing to contribute to Eclipse.

Yes, it is true. If Eclipse.org accepts following plug-ins
  * SFTP client, com.jcraft.eclipse.sftp,
  * SFTP Target, com.jcraft.eclipse.target.sftp and
  * SFTP Team, com.jcraft.eclipse.team.sftp,
I would be willing to contribute to Eclipse.org, but I don't know what kind
of steps is required to do.
