[Patch] New Perforce tasks

[Les Hughes <le...@rubus.com>]

Hi all,

Attached should be a jar of the sources of some tasks I've been working on
for improved perforce integration. I started these before the 1.2 release so
my P4Sync duplicates the existing <perforce> task functionality but the
others offer new goodies. The jar also contains javadocs of these tasks.

Enjoy!

ttfn,

Les
P.S. You'll need oro-2.0 to build them as well as the p4 command line client
in your path - see build.xml for details.

Does that mean, we'd be replacing an optional task that doesn't
require external libraries with a new one that does? I have no problem
to do so for those tasks that do things <perforce> can't do, but
I'm a little reluctant to replace the <perforce> task itself.

Is ORO really a requirement for all of these tasks?

Hi Les,

I've just committed your tasks, could you please add documentation in
the form that is used by the other tasks?

If you want to give the stuff I've put together in
org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp a try, I think it shouldn't be too
difficult to abstract from the RE engine. All calls to matches() can
be replaced quite easily for example. If you're not interested I may
go for it myself, but other things are of higher priority ATM.

Cheers
