This project is no longer maintained and is out of date. Do not use this if you care about the security of your connections. This project is superseded by Maverick Synergy https://github.com/sshtools/maverick-synergy which is maintained and current and addresses all the known vulnerabilities like Terrapin and LogJam. It also uses NIO and has modern builder patterns and immutable objects among other improvements.
J2SSH Maverick is the successor to the original J2SSH API and includes a complete and stable implementation of an SSH2 client. Originally built from the ground up by the original author back in 2003, this product has, until now, only been available under a commercial license. With the development and pending release of a third generation SSH API, this legacy API has now been released under the LGPL v3 and will continue to be maintained by the core author as a contribution to the open source community.

This code was branched from our commercial codebase on August 27th 2014 and converted to a maven project for easier distribution in the ether. The version has been changed to 1.5.0 to avoid conflicts with our commercial codebase which continues to be developed. Bug fixes from our private repository will be pushed to this branch periodically along with any other community contributions that are forthcoming.
