The Perforce Plug-in for Eclipse and WebSphere Studio

P4WSAD, the Perforce Plug-in for Eclipse and WebSphere Studio, enables you to access Perforce from within the Eclipse IDE and the Rational/WebSphere Studio WorkBench family of products, including:

  • 3.2.x through 3.4.x (Release Builds only)

  • Batch resolve of files.
