Missing ant-jsch.jar

The distribution of Ant 1.8.2 is broken on Mac.

ssh from Ant

You have to patch Ant in order to run ssh from it. It needs a ssh implementation that isn’t bundled with the default distribution. If you just define a task like this:

<sshexec host="somehost"
    username="dude"
    password="yo"
    command="touch somefile"/>

Then you will get the error message below back.
