=======

v2.1.1

Fixed mvn build issues

v2.0.0

Replaced the ssh library with JSch
- Adds support for new ssh crypto algorithms
- More modern ssh implementation
Added support for importing and building the library with maven
Added FindBugs code testing to maven build

This is a breaking change to the API. New Device objects are now created using a builder. Example:

Device device = Device.builder().hostName("hostname")
    .userName("username")
    .password("password")
    .hostKeysFileName("hostKeysFileName")
    .build();

SYNOPSIS

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import net.juniper.netconf.NetconfException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

import net.juniper.netconf.XML;
import net.juniper.netconf.Device;

public class ShowInterfaces {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws NetconfException,
                ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {

        //Create device
        Device device = Device.builder()
                            .hostName("hostname")
                            .userName("username")
                            .password("password")
                            .hostKeysFileName("hostKeysFileName")
                            .build(); 
        device.connect();

        //Send RPC and receive RPC Reply as XML
        XML rpc_reply = device.executeRPC("get-interface-information");
        /* OR
            * device.executeRPC("<get-interface-information/>");
            * OR
            * device.executeRPC("<rpc><get-interface-information/></rpc>");
            */

        //Print the RPC-Reply and close the device.
        System.out.println(rpc_reply);
        device.close();
    }
}
