Version 1.1 - 2001/01/09

These tasks provide an interface to the Perforce SCM.

The org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.perforce package consists of a simple framework to support p4 functionality as well as some Ant tasks encapsulating frequently used (by me :-) p4 commands. However, the addition of new p4 commands is a pretty simple task (see the source). Although it is possible to use these commands on the desktop, they were primarily intended to be used by automated build systems.

Note: These tasks require the oro 2.0.XXX regular expression package. Simply download this package and copy the jakarta-oro-2.0.XXX.jar file into Ant's lib directory. You will also need the Perforce client executable (p4 or p4.exe but not p4win.exe) in your path.
