Punching Link Files

I have two projects A and B. I have a constants.java file in A. I want to save a mirror copy of this in B. so that when .java constants ever change their automatic changes in B. Are there any workouts in Perforce.Help me in advance thanks

You cannot do this automatically with Perforce, but you can easily configure the cron job (or build job if you have a CI system like Jenkins ) to use the p4 integrate command to merge any changes into B.

There are likely to be more problems with this approach. I rather recommend either integrating the file from a to b, or vice versa, or (in a more complex environment) placing the file (perhaps this is not only the source file, but also a jar or a large lib library) in the artifact repository. Then the projects get it from there (through the dependency manager). See ivy or maven or gradle , for example.

These alternatives are certainly much more effort, but in a slightly complex software project they are definitely worth it.
