Forking jsch is hard until we can find its source code repository.
The download archive available on [1] contains source code but no tests :-(
Same problem with the source archive available on Maven central [2].
Also see this post on the Jsch mailing list [3].

It seems sshj [4] and mina-sshd are more active and at least sshj is not a
one man show.
mina-sshd is also mostly implemented by a single developer. Its sshd daemon
is used in Gerrit.

Will need to compare APIs and implemented features.
