[VFS] Roadmap or status?

[Ahmed Mohombe <am...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Is there a roadmap for Commmons-vfs? I couldn't find any on the Jakarta 
site.
Does anyone knows what's the status of the project? (it was a long time 
in the "Sandbox" :) ).

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed.

Now that's really good news :).

I'm not SSH expert, but most of projects I've seen use j2ssh. 
Unfortunately, it's no more under active development, but very stable, 
and has very good javadocs: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshtools

Jsch might be good , but if one compare the sources... - (they look 
awfull IMHO). It's still very unstable IMHO.

I for one, wasn't able to integrate Jsch in a project in 24h, but j2ssh 
took me only 2 hours.

I plan to take a look what it needs to take this step in a couple of weeks.

I know ... I really need to rework the homepage :-(

The time where I come to VFS this decision was already done, though I 
have to admit I never heard of j2ssh.
Whats the main difference between those libraries?

Hi,
Thank you for the information.

Cool. What does it stop to step out of the "sandbox" (so that everybody 
takes it more seriously :) )?

Some more examples on how to use the it would be really nice.

Regarding Sftp Provider: Jsch is used. Is there a reason why this 
framework was used an not j2ssh ?

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed.

No roadmap, just a todo-list (with more or less important things)

The status is: It is stable. I use it in our project as java.io.File 
replacement and have had no difficult problems for now.
Currently thre is only slow development (and then in "bursts" ;-).

Currently there is a discussion about locking/transaction. And maybe the 
ANT tasks need some rework too (e.g. file-system configuration).
