Features and wishlist

The plugin was refactored completely, so not all features are implemented yet. Thought, now the progress will be much faster, as I have time and possibility to work on that. Expect to have a new release at each one/two weeks untill all major features are implemented.

See plans for future versions in Backlog

1.0.5 - beta release quality

New features

• Projects are marked with icon if managed by perforce (black/white if not pending, color if pending)
• History viewer for a file
• Refactored submit default change list
• Create new changelist feature
• Submit new changelist feature
• Diff using versions from history

Solved important issues

• Refactory and some actions are not working properly
• Managed/Unmanage by perforce had no immediate effect (needed a restart, now it works fine)

Implemented features

• Connection configuration, multiple connection, each project can have its own connection
• Colored labels and version information in Project View, File View
• Implemented actions:
  • Manage by perforce and Unmanage by perforce (on projects)
  • Add
  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Revert
  • Revert unchanged
  • Refresh (don't sync, just refresh the cache below and redraw the interface)
  • Sync action (on selected file/files/folders/project). You can sync from the latest version or from a specific changelist.
  • Diff against have revision
  • Submit (works only with default change list)
  • Manage connections (creates, edits multiple connections)
• Show depot revision
• Show out of sync decoration for updated files with different revisions
• Cache is now persisted on local storage when NetBeans is closed, and is reloaded from local storage when NetBeans open projects. Now there is no need to query Perforce server when NB starts for every project. This is a big improvement when we have many projects, loading is very fast.
• Ignored files management (rules for all projects). In the next version will be added support for ignored files based on mask and on absolute paths.
• Automated actions (add, edit, delete, refactory)
• Option to enable/disable the automated operations
