Hi Rami,

I was working on 3.6 stabilization till the end of the last week, so I 
did not have much time for that yet, I'm sorry.
There should be no licensing problem with J2SSH (the Apache is O.K.), 
I'm only worried about the quality. 3sp has Maverick commercial product, 
so they will likely not put much effort into the open source product.
Since both Ant and Eclipse decided to use JSCH, it may be better option 
also for us.
The last time I've tested J2SSH (it was version 0.2.5) there were some 
problems (it prints some strange output, which is not nice for end 
users, it has special class loaders, that can interfere with NetBeans 
class loaders, etc.). I didn't test 0.2.7 yet.

IMO it would be good to evaluate JSCH also, it's license looks pretty 
simple, so our decision should be based on quality and suitability for 
NetBeans. Also JSCH is likely to be better maintained when it was chosen 
by Ant.

Regards,
Martin
