public class P4Edit
extends P4Base

Open file(s) for edit. P4Change should be used to obtain a new changelist for P4Edit as, although P4Edit can open files to the default change, P4Submit cannot yet submit to it. Example Usage:
<p4edit change="${p4.change}" view="//depot/project/foo.txt" />

Author:
  Les Hughes
To do:
  Should call reopen if file is already open in one of our changelists perhaps?
