Not that I know of at the moment.  Still, if there is demand for an
ssh client protocol implementation in Java distributed under the ASL,
there's no reason it could not be implemented. 

ok

That is, keeping in
mind that a commons-net implementation would in effect be a toolkit
for building ssh client applications, exposing the protocol to the
programmer through an API, rather than a full end-user ssh client
application with terminal emulation, etc. 

ok

However, I would guess most
folks would be adequately served by wrapping a command line ssh client
like OpenSSH.  Perhaps that's a place to start. 

That's kind of what I did. The problem is that I loose control over the 
actual connection.
If everything is alright, then it's no problem. But if the remote server 
does not respond
or the connectivity is very slow, then I would like to receive for 
instance a TimeOutException
or some other Exception which I could handle within my Java application.

Or is my wrapper just bad?!

BTW: I just found the following link

http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/

but it's LGPL

Thanks

Michael

Define some interfaces
and provide an OpenSSH wrapper implementation, providing a pure Java
implementation later only if there is a real demand.
