Using P4Eclipse

P4Eclipse is Perforce's plugin for the Eclipse IDE. It offers powerful Perforce features enhanced by Eclipse, like a language-aware Time-Lapse View.

Note that you need P4Eclipse version 2012.2 or greater.

Configuring P4Eclipse

When configuring your Perforce connection in P4Eclipse, make sure you include the P4HOST setting under Preferences -> Team -> Perforce -> Advanced, as shown in the screenshot below. Configure the other Perforce settings normally.

To get started with a brand new depot

After you connect your Eclipse project to Perforce, you'll be prompted to log in. Use your Assembla password. You can then create a Perforce workspace for your first stream, //depot/main.

Start working! Your new depot is empty. You can create new code or import existing code.
