Perforce Version Control Task will only work with default client spec.

           Summary: Perforce Version Control Task will only work with
                    default client spec.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tmotley@gmail.com


The Perforce version control system lets users interface with its repository
using a client specification, or "client spec".  Each client spec is
configurable for a project, and is useful in separating out change lists, file
checkout locations, etc for different projects a user may be working on.

Ant ships with a P4 Task that allows users to build ant projects that can
interact with their Perforce server.  Each P4 task has the following properties:

1) port - P4PORT The p4d server and port to connect to
2) client - P4CLIENT The p4 client spec to use
3) user - P4USER The p4 username
4) view - The client, branch or label view to operate upon. 


Item 2 (the Client property) appears to be ingored by the Task.  In all my
projects, this value always defaults to the default Client for my Perforce
instance.  I have debugged this and seen that I am passing the correct Client
name in to the Task's Client attribute, but it is always ignored in favor of the
 default Client.  To get my P4 Tasks to work I have to change the default Client
in Perforce to be the one I want to operate on.
