Connecting to NTLMv2 from Java\httpclient 3\linux

Question

I am using MAC and LINUX, java6 and apache http-client 3.1 to connect to sharepoint with NTLM auth.

I connect to ntlm using http://jcifs.samba.org/ and it worked fine until I had to connect to NTLMv2. I tried this http://devsac.blogspot.com/2010/10/supoprt-for-ntlmv2-with-apache.html but it doesnt work for me with NTLMv2,

Is there any way to make my httpclient 3.1 connect to NTLMv2 ? if not, is there a way to connect java to NTLMv2 without httpclient?

thanks
