undefined method `generate' for OpenSSL::PKey::EC:Class whe starting an SSH session with a private key

  Provides SSL, TLS and general purpose cryptography. (by ruby)

  

  JRuby doesn't use the official openssl gem which contains C extensions that compile against libopenssl, but instead uses jruby-openssl. There are a few minor compatibility issues with jruby-openssl. I've ran into the missing EC.generate method before. In theory CRuby's openssl OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate creates a new OpenSSL::PKey::EC object and calls #generate_key, but trying that in JRuby produces a smaller EC key implying there's some data missing from the EC key, so I'm not sure if that approach is equivalent.
