Re: [JSch-users] How to get sch to support ssh-agent

[Eric M. <me...@cs...>]

It is all implemented in java so it is independent.  Our project also  
wanted to use an existing ssh-agent but the rmi solution was the  
simpler.  Because I've changed a few other things which make our fork  
of jsch incompatible with the released version of JSch, I'll need to  
know if you want a drop-in replacement or if you can slightly modify  
your code to work with our forked jar.  I've made some changes the  
interfaces but kept it synced with the latest RC Atsuhiko has  
released.  The only other changes our own fixes and speed  
improvements (from Profiling and Refactoring I've run on JSch).
