Implementing SSH in Java

- Java can be used to implement SSH. JSch is a Java library that implements the SSH-2 protocol, allowing shell, exec, scp, and port forwarding functionality in Java applications. - JSch was developed solely by JCraft, Inc. and has been included in Eclipse and NetBeans IDEs since around 2005 to enable secure communication over SSH. - It sees widespread use in Apache projects and other software including Fedora, JIRA, and HP storage tools. Future plans include supporting the SSH file transfer protocol and improving authentication and encryption.
