P4Java

P4Java is an open source Java library that allows you to interact with all Perforce SCM facilities. It provides additional support where the Perforce provided API leaves off.

Why?

The public API from Perforce doesn't support newer features of the server and doesn't allow you to extend upon the existing code base. And by newer, I mean features after 2001. Additionally, there is no active development against it. The last known change was in 2002. The API isn't even listed on Perforce's website.

There are several goals for this new project to pick up where the public API leaves off. Among these are:

Good documentation. Let's make sure you can get up and running as quickly as possible. After all, you probably aren't using this API as your core development project.
Extensible. In the event the API doesn't do something you need, it has a more open design that allows you to extend it. No final classes here!
Dependency Injection. The new API is designed with Dependancy Injection in mind so that you can easily integrate with your existing system. No static singletons!
