About This Project
- Content
-
Source, documentation, and JAR for P4Package, a high-level Java API for Perforce. These classes provide a way to encapsulate source control objects like branches, files, users, etc. I've had a lot of success building tools and scripts based on these classes. Because of the encapsulation, maintenance is much simpler. When perforce changes, only these underlying classes need to be updated.

- Getting Started
-
Take a look at the examples and API documentation. These should help you get an idea of how to use the package. To build the examples, you must:
- Download the latest JAR file and put it on your CLASSPATH.
- Download all the .java files and the p4.properties file.
- Modify the p4.properties file to fit your environment.
- Modify the example .java files to fit your needs.
- Compile all the .java files using 'javac *.java'
- Execute an example with something like 'java ListUsers'
