Hi,
From my perforce pov, it's about automated nightly builds; syncing to head,
building, testing, releasing, checking in reports/logs and labelling. Our
developers don't use any of the ant perforce tasks in their environment,
they have full control thru the p4win gui.

We use junit in a separate "test.xml" file to run all tests in certain

Hi,
Since our whole build process is kicked from cron, and wrapped in a shell
script I simply use a build.xml ,check the Ant exit code, call the

Sure, here's an example. I'm not saying this is the *best* way, just one way
:-)
In perforce consider a depot laid out:-
//projects/myproject/main/buildsystem/conf/nt/build.properties
//projects/myproject/main/buildsystem/conf/unix/build.properties
Erm, actually it is. It all relates back to the way the mapping from depot
view to client view works. But I see what you're getting at, I guess as long
as you have a mapping, you can do p4sync view="."/ as p4 takes either
client filepath or depot map and translates as appropriate.
Les
Or why not use the perforce 'framework' and create a P4Client task? I might
even knock a task together on the train tonight - if I get a seat :-(
But there again, clients are pretty static things - why do you need to
create one inside a build?
