I don't know exactly what the Jenkins plugin executes in the node, but
apart from the SSH connection, there are several scripts that assume a
bash shell in it.
Adding support for jclouds+Windows would require more than installing
an SSH server in the guest. As you found, there was a work started to
add support for Overthere as a driver, to be able to connect to
Windows nodes using WinRM, but that never got completed, and now the
pull request is dead :(
Being able to bypass the issue will depend on what the Jenkins plugin
tries to run in the node.

1. Does the above mean that it is impossible to use Jenkins +
jclouds to spin up Windows instances?
Would you be able to try with a Windows box that has an SSH server
running to see if you can get any further..?
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the replies.
I have logged an issue against the plugin (well, not really an 'issue' but
anyway...)
I have also tried with OpenSSH Windows 3.8.1 to no avail, but since it's so
very old I'm not sure if that is where the issue lies...
Thanks anyway.
Johan
