I have a directory outside the repository. I put generated sources in there. These generated sources take FOREVER to create. Rather than have everyone on the team generate these sources, I would like to use our build machine to generate the sources, and check them in to perforce. How do I do this and ensure that the source controlled directory only has only the most recent files and not any that were generated previously but not in the most recent build?
I was thinking of doing a p4 edit on all the files in the generated directory (for existing files), then doing a p4 add using wildcards to get any files that are new, but I do not know how to handle files that were previously generated, but not generated in the most recent build (should be deleted).
I found this on the perforce blog and it is exactly what I was looking for. Automating folder replacement using P4Java and Apache Ant
