Re: ssh implementation is bogus

From: Dan North <dan_at_tastapod.com>

The showstopper for me with svn+ssh over javasvn was having a different
username on the server. The remarkably responsive Alex has resolved this
so I expect the next subclipse plugin release to have the fix in it.

Note that the java ssh implementation that Alex uses - jsch - only
understands openssh private key files, so your putty .PPK file won't
work. You can convert a Putty secret secret key into an openssh key
using the puttygen utility.

Once you get javasvn working you will find it is quicker than using
svn+ssh over the command line client because it maintains a persistent
ssh connection so it doesn't need to do the ssh handshaking every time
you do anything.

hth,
Dan

ps. Password access might be disabled on your ssh server - it's a
configurable option in the sshd config and is often disabled as a
security measure.
