Update: The GSOC project and the code there isn't active, but this is:
https://github.com/hierynomus/sshj
hierynomus took over as maintainer since early 2015. Here is the older, no longer maintained, Github link:
https://github.com/shikhar/sshj
There was a GSOC project:
http://code.google.com/p/commons-net-ssh/
Code quality seem to be better than JSch, which, while a complete and working implementation, lacks documentation. Project page spots an upcoming beta release, last commit to the repository was mid-august.
Compare the APIs:

ssh.connect("localhost");
try {
ssh.authPublickey(System.getProperty("user.name"));
