Java SSH implementation

I don't remember where I found this, I'm sure it was on a Weblog I'm subscribed to, but I cannot find it anymore. JSCH is a pure Java SSH2 implementation released under LGPL.

This should allow things like connecting to remote Unix servers from a Java application. Until now this was possible only by exec'ing the ssh command line tools. I'm not sure though JSch supports authentication through public keys though, which is very convenient as you don't have to ask users for the server password.
