Recently I've been looking at an interesting exception to this, JSch:

    http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/

If you do a little searching on the web you can find lots of complaints
that the code isn't very Java-ish, and on my own reading of the source I
tend to agree.  It nevertheless continues to be a successful project
with widespread use, and I think there's a reason for that.  SSH has a
well-defined standard and the code is a faithful implementation of
that.  Once you study the standards document, the JSch code starts to
make sense.  It's also a stable protocol that seems unlikely to change,
so there's not a lot of reason to want to extend it yourself.  But most
projects aren't like that.
