JSch is not included in jdk 1.7?

I was trying to use JSch to connect to a mysql via ssh. According to JSch website, http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ it should work with j2se 1.4 and up, "no additional libraries required". I have jdk 1.7 installed. Howver got the error saying "package com.jcraft.jsch does not exist, import com.jcraft.jsch.JSch;" when I compiled my java code. I wonder how to get it to work.

Solution

  • Add the JSch JAR in the application "lib" folder.

    Or update your system class path with JSch.JAR

    in Windows

    Go to 

    Advance System settings --> Advanced (tab) --> Environment Variables --> User Variables

    Add 

    CLASSPATH = %CLASSPATH%;C:\LOCATION OF THE JAR\JSch.jar
