Description

Perforce has developed a new Java Native API for access to perforce called P4Java. You can access it here: ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r09.1/bin.java/p4java.zip. This completely reworked API does not require that the p4 client be installed on the system. The SCM Perforce Provider should be modified to use this new native java API to eliminate the many issues involved with depending on the p4 executable.
