SSHJ and the Maven shade plugin

Question

Testing SSHJ in Eclipse and everything looks good. But When I use the Maven shade plugin to package SSHJ I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" net.schmizz.sshj.userauth.UserAuthException: Exhausted available authentication methods
at net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient.auth(SSHClient.java:217)
at net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient.authPublickey(SSHClient.java:316)

at no.f12.SshService.serviceCommand(SshService.java:22)
at no.f12.App.main(App.java:29)

Adding

Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());

changes the error message to:

Exception in thread "main" net.schmizz.sshj.transport.TransportException: Unable to reach a settlement: [] and [aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, arcfour256, arcfour128, aes128-gcm@openssh.com, aes256-gcm@openssh.com, aes128-cbc, 3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, arcfour, rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se]

Any idea how to get around this?

A bit of background to why I want to use shade... I am trying to get to a point where usage of Java and distribution of small utils is dead simple. So I create a really executable jar using this: https://github.com/brianm/really-executable-jars-maven-plugin . That enables me to create one, executable file to distribute and add to the path of the user. A bit like how Go has one binary file with all dependencies.

The code I'm using is available here BTW: https://github.com/anderssv/executable-ssh-util — Anders S, Nov 07 '13 at 11:39
To test working: `mvn -Passembly clean install && cd target && /bin/bash bin/app services stop` — Anders S, Nov 07 '13 at 12:06
To test failing: `mvn clean install && cd target && ./executable-ssh-util-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar services stop` — Anders S, Nov 07 '13 at 12:06

I had this exact problem. I finally gave up on trying to put everything in a big "uberjar".

Instead I assembled all the jars using maven-assembly-plugin, and then extract and add them to the classpath in order to execute, e.g. 'java -cp all-needed-libs/* com.company.MainClass'.

Another approach that might work is to add bouncycastle to the JRE extension library.

E.g put 'bcprov-jdk15on-1.49.jar' in folder '$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/' on the host.

You have to sign jar, it's required by Javax.security. I got similar problem and there's stacktrace from my test:
