Perforce Plugin? 关注

I was planning to, but didn't start yet.
And definitely I would do it outside SF. Don't have CVS and the project
is small enough to handle in a ZIPped form.
But if someone wants to do it another way I will be a happy tester and user.

I see there is a Perforce plugin here
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/perfin>, but it was last updated on May

22

and I'm going to guess that it's way out of date.

clearcase and p4 are very close. The transparent plug-in already supports a
pluggable implementation. You could develop your implementation for p4 and I
will be more than happy to include it as part of transparent.
There is also a feature request to specify the command line associated with
each VCS action (checkout checkin, undocheckout, move,...). That way you
could just convert the external tools to the plugin and be done with it (but
that would take longer... ;-). This will take care also of something the
first won't: the misceallenous commands like update, find checkouts,... that
I will would guess are clearcase specific.

BTW is p4 a shell?


Let me know.

Okay, I'll look at Transparent's source today.

I'm not sure what you mean.

It's executable. P4.EXE on Win, P4 on Unix.

Can you use it as a shell and pipe multiple commands to it, change
directories,...
This cuts down on the startup cost of each command.
The other question is whether or not there is a native API that could be
wrapped through JNI or better a java API.

Nope :(
Fixed syntax 'p4 ]]>' (plus some options here and there)

This cuts down on the startup cost of each command.

None that I know of. My impression is that even their GUI executes the
command-line form in background. On the other side, the executable
is quite fast.

There is an API, but it is in C++. There is a Java API, but it just calls
the command line. Might be helpful though.
