Hi Olli,
I just stated using JSch as the SFTP library for file
transfer. Now that I've been familiarizing myself with the code and the
examples
a few questions have crossed my mind:
How actively is JSch developed?
I could find a TODO list on the website ( http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ )
and was
wondering is it just a list of nice to have features or is there progress
in
actively developing the different areas mentioned in the list. From my
perspective as a new user of JSch it would be nice to see more
documentation and
comments in code. Also the exceptions thrown by the JSch are usually just
with
the id SSH_FX_FAILURE although in
some cases they could be more descriptive and include more error
information.
Now I'm thinking that would it make any sense for me
to modify my local copy of JSch, for example to make the error messages
and ids
to better correspond to the actual server errors, or will there be a new
release in the near future that makes those improvements?
Anyways I really appreciate that you can provide such a good
Java SFTP library as JSch for free!
Here's a "Critique and Praise" blog post that a colleague passed onto me
recently, it might help answer some of your questions.

Disclaimer, I'm _not_ the blog post author. But I do agree with some of his
comments (both the praise and the criticisms)
Cheers,
Martijn
