Maverick ANT v.1.0

Apache Ant is a popular tool created in Java that uses external tasks or tools to provide a much greater degree of control over the software build and deployment process. This highly extensible build tool provides many advantages over existing methods such as those that involve using makefiles. J2SSH Maverick is a Java-based API that implements the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. Using J2SSH Maverick we have developed an Ant task which is available for use in both commercial and non-commercial situations without payment of license fees. Advanced Features The Maverick SSH task implements an SSH client, performing operations such as connecting, authenticating and executing commands on remote servers. SFTP support is included as a subtask of the main SSH task, which itself can send, receive, list, delete files and create directories. The SFTP task has been modelled on the optional Ant FTP task and hence its operation is very similar. The task is more detailed that the optional SSH task that ships with ANT as it provides nested read/write elements that allow the user to create detailed interaction between the script and the command, mimicking user interaction with the session. Connections authenticate faster and SFTP/SCP transfers complete quicker with the Maverick API. Furthermore, Maverick ANT has no dependencies on external libraries and the core distribution size is just 300k. The Maverick ANT Task is clearly the ideal candidate for heavy-duty build environments where performance is desirable. Main features: - Free-to-use in both commercial/non-commercial settings - Support for both SSH protocols, SSH1 and SSH2 - Execute remote commands - No external dependencies, no JCE required! - Compatible with JDK1.1+ and all ANT versions - Password, Public key authentication - Configurable ciphers and message authentication algorithms - SFTP Task for transfering files - Supports reading of SSHTools, OpenSSH, PuTTY and SSH.com public/private keys - ZLIB compression
