Perforce integrates Apache Ant

UK based Perforce Software has launched P4Ant, a new integration between its own Software Configuration Management system and the Java-based build tool Apache Ant.

“Using P4Ant gives Java developers powerful agile tools for managing their source code and building projects faster,” said Dave Robertson, VP International at Perforce Software.

“As development teams grow and projects become more complex, developers need systems that easily scale to support large globally distributed JEE projects,” he added.

P4Ant is available for free to those who have purchased Perforce Server version 2010.1

End-user licenses for the complete solution, including one year of support and maintenance, start at $900 per seat, though volume discounts are available.
