No, I do not feel that way. But I know that having ssh connection in javacvs
library will greatly improve the setup of :ext: connection in NetBeans.
Currently users need to use external cvs.exe for :ext: connection with a
separate ssh executable. There are problems with passwords, because the
password can not be submitted through the IDE.

This is why I appreciate your contribution and will integrate it as soon as
current priority tasks are resolved.

Yes, this is the approach we need to follow.
