Remote access for root? Generally not recommended. – Qwerky Jan 18 '11 at 12:30
you can use JSch library, but dont do directory listing with command "ls", better use sftp from the same library JSch, much easier to browse remote filesystem. – Ruslan Jan 18 '11 at 12:45

You can use JSch or any other Java library. Google will help you.

Although, usually I find it more convenient to execute ssh commands from build script. E.g., there's an Ant task for that.

+1 for the sshexec ant-task reference as a more convenient way – dimitrisli Jan 18 '11 at 11:50

Using sshj:

SSHClient ssh = new SSHClient();
ssh.loadKnownHosts();
ssh.connect("nameOfServer");
ssh.authPublickey("userId");
Session session = ssh.startSession();
Command cmd = session.exec("yourCommand");
System.out.println(cmd.getOutputAsString());
session.close();
ssh.disconnect();
