Hello,

Can I request that the Ant tasks for Maven do not include the third party Jsch libraries in their own jar

It may seem a good solution to your dependencies -bundle them in your own JAR, but the consequences are -unless you release the libs in perfect syncrhonisation with the jsch releases, your version will be behind -if someone has a different version of the jsch stuff on the classpath, they may not get what they want
 -the ant team ends up fielding the bug reports

We have problems with existing libraries including stuff like oro and antlr, and have documented it
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies

Please dont add to the list.

I understand the value in secure downloads, but feel this is the wrong tactic. If having the library is a prerequisite, please point to the library at download time. Otherwise, well, surely dynamic downloading of stuff is what the library is meant to be good at?
