The <code>org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.perforce</code> package consists of a simple framework to support 
p4 functionality as well as some Apache Ant tasks encapsulating frequently used (by me :-) p4 commands.

Although it is possible to use these commands on the desktop, 
they were primarily intended to be used by automated build systems
