LogCat: Could not find class 'com.jcraft.jsch.JSch'

Question

i'm trying to ssh connect from my android phone to a ssh server.

My import line:

    import com.jcraft.jsch.*;

and here the rest

    try{
        JSch jsch = new JSch();

        //create SSH connection
        String host = "192.168.158.20";
        String user = "jan";
        String password = "mypassword";

        Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host, 22);
        session.setPassword(password);
        session.connect();
        System.out.println("done");
      }
      catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println(e);
     }

I'm using Jsch (java ssh implementation) for that. I've downloaded the jsch-0.1.48.jar from the website and added it to my eclipse android project's build path via "right click project -> libraries -> Add Jars"

I can now see the jsch-0.1.48.jar file inside my Referenced Libraries so that seems to be ok.

When i start the debug i get a Could not find class 'com.jcraft.jsch.JSch' error from LogCat at the line 1.

Eclipse shows me no warnings or syntax errors.

The jsch jar file needs to be converted to DEX format and included in the APK. Otherwise you get a ClassNotFound error. See answer from Akki — David Wasser, Jul 25 '12 at 12:35

Create a folder with name libs and import your jar file in there.

i tried that and followed the link without success, although it seemed to have solved the problem for somebody with very similar problem – ThinkTeamwork Jul 25 '12 at 20:09

Convert jsch jar file to DEX format and include the classes.dex along with the jar in the build path.

What do you mean by " include the classes.dex along with the jar in the build path" do we replace? – solti Mar 05 '14 at 22:07
