True. In my case, I though I had it working at one point. However,
what had happened was that I had placed my passphrase in the config.ini
under ~/.eclipse. Once I had done that, subversion had cached it in
~/.subversion/auth/svn.ssh, causing later attempts without me directly
entering the passphrase appear to succeed. In fact, it had been using
the cached credentials. Once I removed ~/.subversion/auth/svn.ssh, it
want back to the behavior we have been observing all along, where it
can't get to the key.

In any event, I think that your point is valid and probably should be
brought up to the JSch developers. I will email them and see what they
think.

I also did a bit of experimenting with Eclipse's CVS module. What ended
up happening was that even when launched eclipse via ssh-agent:

ssh-agent eclipse

It still didn't work. I added the key, yet to connect to a cvs server
via extssh, Eclipse still wanted me to enter the passphrase. That
certainly reinforces your thoughts on JSch simply not communicating with
the ssh-agent.
