<p><a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/">Source</a>, <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/docs/index.html">documentation</a>, and <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/dist/p4.jar">JAR</a> 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.

<dt>Getting Started</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Take a look at the <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/examples/index.html">examples</a> and <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/docs/index.html">API documentation</a>. These should help you get an idea of how to use the package. To build the examples, you must:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download the latest <a href="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/api/java/p4package/dist/p4.jar">JAR</a> file and put it on your CLASSPATH.</li>
<li>Download all the .java files and the p4.properties file.</li>
<li>Modify the p4.properties file to fit your environment.</li>
<li>Modify the example .java files to fit your needs.</li>
<li>Compile all the .java files using 'javac *.java'</li>
<li>Execute an example with something like 'java ListUsers'</li>
</ul>
</dd>
