sshexec (libjsch-java) is not directly usable after installation of ant-optional

[Hendy Irawan]

Even if ant-optional and libjsch-java packages have been installed, I still need to do:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/jsch.jar /usr/share/ant/lib/

to use 'sshexec' task, otherwise ant will complain of missing JAR.

I can also confirm this bug. It happens with both versions of Ant (1.8.1 and 1.7.1) in Natty.

I had to remove jsch.jar from /usr/share/ant/lib and make a symlink to /usr/share/java/jsch.jar:

cd /usr/share/ant/lib
rm ant-jsch.jar
ln -s ../../java/jsch.jar ant-jsch.jar
