What I would prefer seeing is a new package called org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.sshd or org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.mina. Ideally, the new impl would not touch the current one, for now. If the implementation is a success and accepted, we can then repackage the current org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp into org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.jsch (in a major release) to keep it all neat and tidy. Then people can pick one. We can then deprecate jsch and remove the jsch version in a major release. > - annex: What are the coding conventions for VFS ? > Look at the source code in trunk. There are no pre-canned IDE config files to help sadly. I do not like the { } convention currently in use, but that's what we have now. It may change in the future of course.
