-------------------------------------
[~michael-o] Thank you very much for your reply! I deeply sympathize with the
burdens of maintainership, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your
service to the open source community. I hope my message did not come across as
accusatory or critical. I just honestly do not understand what the currently
recommended approach is for using wagon with SSH/SCP right now. What is "the
sshexe (scp) provider"? I tried to find it, but failed. Sorry if I'm being dumb
here, but I am trying to maintain [my SO answer about
wagon+SCP|https://stackoverflow.com/a/14404990/1207769], and I do not know what
to try next. Given Maven's sparse documentation, I think SO ends up helping a
lot of people figure out how to actually do stuff with it in practice, and I'm
trying to be part of that solution. I just need a little guidance: a pointer to
documentation or example somewhere?
> Deprecate Wagon SSH Provider
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: WAGON-616
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-616
> Project: Maven Wagon
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: wagon-ssh
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.5.0
>
>
> This provider has serious implications and implementation issues:
> - JSch http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ failed to provide a source repository,
> accept contributions and address issues.
> - Too complex and low level.
> - It is disputed whether this is open source at all.
> The sshexe ({{scp}}) provider remains until someone wants to write something
> on top of Apache MINA SSHD.
> We are deprecating this provider to be removed in 4.0.0.
