Description Thomas Hallgren

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #310204 +++

Now that support for CVS tagging is being provided (see bug 309151), there should be a way to specify/control the location of the SSH key that is used for authentication.

Use the text in bug 310204 comment 3 as reference.

Added the following text:

<varlistentry>
  <term>
    <literal>org.eclipse.buckminster.core.ssh2Home</literal>
  </term>
  <listitem>
    <para><acronym>SSH</acronym> implementation home directory — this directory is searched for the <literal>known_hosts</literal> file (this preference corresponds to the “SSH2 Home” field found onthe “General” tab of the “General <symbol role="symbolfont">→</symbol> Network Connections <symbol role="symbolfont">→</symbol> SSH2” preference page).</para>
  </listitem>
</varlistentry><varlistentry>
  <term>
    <literal>org.eclipse.buckminster.core.ssh2PrivateKeys</literal>
  </term>
  <listitem>
    <para>A comma separated list of files each containing a private key to use when attempting <acronym>SSH</acronym> public key authentication (this preference corresponds to the “Private Keys” field found on the “General” tab of the “General <symbol role="symbolfont">→</symbol> NetworkConnections  <symbol role="symbolfont">→</symbol> SSH2” preference page).</para>
  </listitem>
</varlistentry>

Please review if the "org.eclipse.buckminster.core" is the correct prefix - there was no way to tell from bug 310204 where they where stated as *sshPrivateKeys* and *ssh2Home*.

Yes. It's correct.
