Re: SSH

Especially the integrating in our connection framework seems to be very 
easy, because they have a similar structure:

public interface IServerConnection {
         /**
          * Open a connection to the CVS server.
          *
          * Throw CVSAuthenticationException if the username or password is 
invalid.
          * Throw IOExceptions for other failures.
          */
         public void open(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws IOException, 
CVSAuthenticationException;
         /**
          * Close the connection
          *
          * Throw IOException on failures
          */
         public void close() throws IOException;
         /**
          * Get the input stream to receive responses from the server
          */
         public InputStream getInputStream();
         /**
          * Get the output stream to send requests to the server
          */
         public OutputStream getOutputStream();
}

This seems very well-known to us.

As I read from the comments, they support SSH 1.5, but I'm not very 
experienced with SSH at all (I can't setup a SSH protected CVS server).
