<h2><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>These tasks provide an interface to the <a href="http://www.perforce.com" target="_top">Perforce</a> SCM.
The <code>org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.perforce</code> 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.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b> These tasks require the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/oro" target="_top">oro 2.0.XXX</a> 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.

<h3>General P4 Properties</h3>
<p>Each p4 task requires a number of settings, either through build-wide properties, individual attributes 
or environment variables. These are

<p> Your local installation of Perforce may require other settings (e.g.
P4PASSWD, P4CONFIG). Many of these settings can be set using the globalopts
attribute (described below), but not all. If a setting cannot be set
by the command-line options, then it can only be set outside of Ant as an 
environment variable.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you may also specify the following attributes:
</p>
<p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">

  <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
  <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>

     (<code>true</code>|<code>yes</code>|<code>on</code>)

    <td valign="top">No; defaults to true.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
      <td valign="top">globalopts<br></td>
      <td valign="top">Specifies global options for perforce to use while
      executing the task. These properties should be concatenated into one
      string,<br>
      such as "-P <i>password</i> -C EUCJIS". Use the command-line option
      syntax, NOT the environment variable names. See the<br>
      Perforce Command Reference for details.</td>

<p>Setting in the environment:-</p>

    <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
    <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>

</pre>
<hr>


<h2><a name="p4submit">P4Submit</a></h2>
<h3>Description:</h3>
<p>Submit a changelist, usually obtained from P4Change.
<p>P4Submit will also change the value of the property p4.change if the change list is renamed by the Perforce server.
<p>P4Submit will set a property p4.needsresolve to 1 if the change could not be submitted due to files needing resolving.
<p>Files will need resolve if at the time of checking in, the revision that was checked out to do the current edit
is not the latest any more.
<p>If no files need resolve, the p4.needsresolve will be set to 0.

&lt;
p4labelsync
name=&quot;current_release&quot;

add=&quot;true&quot;
/&gt;
</pre>
This example will add into the label called <i>current_release</i> the current head revision of all the files located under <i>//depot</i>
and the revision 25 of the file <i>//depot2/file1</i>.
<pre>
&lt;
p4labelsync
name=&quot;current_release&quot;
p4client=&quot;myclient&quot;
/&gt;
</pre>
This example will update the label called <i>current_release</i> so that it reflects the Perforce client <i>myclient</i>.<br>
Files present in the label before the sync and not present currently in the client will be removed from the label, because the add attribute is not set.
<pre>
&lt;
p4labelsync
name=&quot;current_release&quot;
/&gt;
</pre>
This example will update the label called <i>current_release</i> so that it reflects the current default client for the ant Perforce tasks.<br>
The default client is by order of priority :
<ul>
<li>
the value of the p4.client property if set in the project
</li>
<li>
the value of the P4CLIENT environment variable
</li>
<li>
the default Perforce client from the Windows registry under Windows operating systems
</li>
</ul>
Files present in the label before the sync and not present currently in the client will be removed from the label, because the add attribute is not set.

the property will be filled with the value of the counter. You may
not specify to both get and set the value of the counter in the same
Task.

<h2><a name="p4resolve">P4Resolve</a></h2>
<h3>Description:</h3>
<p>Resolves files. You want to do this if :
<ul>
<li>
there have been or there may be concurrent edits of the same file. For instance, you have begun to edit a file, and while you were working on it, somebody has submitted a new version  of the same file. When you first attempt to submit your file(s), you will get a message (property p4.needsresolve set).
</li>
<li>
you have just been doing an integration to existing target files
</li>
</ul>
P4Resolve does not use a change list number (it takes it from the files it is working on).
