Ok I've figured out what is going on.. Sort of.. At least I can make

I had to copy the jar files to /System/Library/Java/Extensions.

Not good.

Specify them explicit either to java command line or to java ant task.

However there was a lib sub-directory in the distribution of j2ssh and
I don't know what I was supposed to do with that folder... That
folder contained:

BOUNCYCASTLE.LICENSE
COMMONS.LICENSE
XERCES.LICENSE
commons-logging.jar
jdk13-119.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar

They should also be in classpath.

(the good thing is that Java 1.6 supports wildcards for jar files
in classpath !!)

Now when I run my application:

$>java -jar testsftp.jar

I get an error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/
commons/logging/LogFactory
at com.sshtools.j2ssh.SshClient.<clinit>(Unknown Source)
at testsftp.main(testsftp.java:23)

I suspect that because there was a jar file in the lib folder that
maybe I needed to copy that lib folder as well?

Yes. It can not find commons-logging.jar !

When you use -jar then you should put all the required jar
files in the Class-Path directive in the manifest.
