#2 Supply more meaningful exception messages
I have the impression that exception messages are not
very informative in general. This makes it very
difficult to track down configuration problems.
One example: I tried to connect to my laptop running
Suse Linux using the examples and got a JSchException
with the message "Auth fail". After trying a lot of
things I finally encountered (debugging the sourcecode)
that my sshd reported to supply the authentication
methods "publickey" and "keyboard-interactive".
However, the example ui was set up to support the
"password" method only. This should be reflected in the
exception message.
Guys, do you have any plans to address this request? It's a blocker to bug in Eclipse/Orion project: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349034. Is there a way I can help moving it forward?
Does it make any sense to attach a patch here? How do you handle contributions? I'm asking just in case, if I had a patch would it be reviewed at least ?
