Ant scp task not working, even with jsch on ant/lib

Question

I need to copy a war file via scp.

I have added the jsch-0.1.42.jar to $ANT_HOME/lib but I\'m still getting this error:

Answer 1

This looks like your problem, from the top of the diagnostics:

optional tasks : not available

Your $ANT_HOME/lib directory is missing ant-jsch.jar, which is where your missing class comes from.

I'm not sure how this happened - I always install Ant from the ZIP file on the download site, which includes all the optional tasks. If you installed Ant from a Linux package, try checking to see if there is a separate package for the optional tasks.

Once you get the optional tasks installed, I would delete the old version of jsch.jar as @trashgod suggests.
