How to solve missing JAR files error from Ant
+1
−2
I keep getting this error:
Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.SSHExec was not found.
This looks like one of Ant's optional components.
Action: Check that the appropriate optional JAR exists in
-/usr/share/ant/lib
-/root/.ant/lib
-a directory added on the command line with the -lib argument
Do not panic, this is a common problem.
The commonest cause is a missing JAR.
This is not a bug; it is a configuration problem
I'm trying to run the following ant build step:
ant -lib /home/xyzsuite/root/.ant/lib/ -file ./tools/build.xml build
I did ant -diagnostics and it gave following results:

14:27:32 A task being missing/unavailable should only matter if you are trying to use it
I think I have all the required jar files.
Note: I'm running this on a Linux 8 arm64v8 server.

So In case anyone else is stuck on similar Missing JAR error, Here is the solution-
download and try to install ant-optional package (I said "try" because its not available for some platforms)
If it is not available for yours, then download "ant-optional" package from 'sourceforge' and paste it into the path that error is reading out,
If this still doesnt work, download "jsch.jar" from 'sourceforge' and paste it into the path that error is reading out
That should do the trick. I hope it helps someone
