The ssh/scp tasks that I wrote based on jsch are somewhat out of date 
already. I based the tasks on version 0.0.8, 0.1.0 is the current 
release. I made some modifications to 0.0.8 that never made it into the 
jsch code base, but maybe have been added by others. The main fix I did 
was to remove the System.exit calls, of which there were several. I'm 
not up on ssh key support in jsch. I too would like to get a feel from 
the Ant devs about how to proceed with this. I'd be happy to donate the 
tasks I've done as a starting point.
