[Perforce-announce] P4WSAD and P4Java 2009.2 GA releases available

[Rachael Fish]

Dear Perforce User,

We are pleased to announce the Perforce 2009.2 release of the
Perforce Plug-in for Eclipse and WebSphere Studio (P4WSAD)
and the Perforce Java API (P4Java).

This release contains many new features and enhancements, including:

For the Perforce Plug-in for Eclipse and WebSphere Studio (P4WSAD):

- Support for the new shelving feature allows Eclipse users to cache
  modified files on the server without first having to check them 
  in as a versioned change.  Shelved files are organized in pending
  changelists that can easily be shared with other users for code 
  reviews and testing.  Shelving is also supported in the 2009.2
  version of the Perforce Visual Client (P4V) and the Perforce
  Command-line Client (P4).
- P4WSAD now has a fully integrated Eclipse-based Time-lapse View
  tool.  The Time-lapse View tool provides a graphical view of the 
  complete content history of an individual file. In a single view,
  developers can instantly visualize how the entire content history
  of a file has evolved over time.  Time-lapse View can leverage
  Eclipse's built-in capabilities for language-specific 
  highlighting when using Eclipse 3.4+.
- File change history is now reported in the standard Eclipse 
  history view.
- Branch view specifications can now be managed from within the
  Eclipse environment.

2009.2 P4WSAD is compatible with Perforce Server releases 2005.2 
and higher.

For the Perforce Java API (P4Java):

- The P4Java interface has been restructured to have a simpler naming 
  paradigm and to improve usability.  This brings the API into better 
  conformance with Java community standards to better support future 
  extensibility.
- Support has been added for the most common Perforce administration
  operations.
- Support for shelving to store work in progress on the server without
  submitting files.

2009.2 P4Java is compatible with Perforce Server releases 2007.3 
and higher.
