	Jam -- Perforce Software
		Jam is small, it has negligible CPU overhead, and it doesn't create or leave behind temporary files.
		Jam is able to build large projects spread across many directories in a single pass and can manage and distribute build steps to multiple processors on one or more networked machines.
		While Jam comes with no warranties or guarantees and is not supported by Perforce, assistance on Jam is available from the Jamming mailing list which provides a forum to submit your own questions or to review posts from other Jam users.

	Perforce Jam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jam can be used with autoconf, although it is often not necessary because of Jam's portability features.
		FT Jam is a popular variant and fully backward compatible, although its features are being integrated into Perforce Jam.
		Jambase is notorious among Jam users for its bugs and the infrequency with which fixes are integrated into the distribution, though few bugs are critical.

	Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux Jam Guide
		Jam was written by Christopher Seiwald of Perforce Software, and has been released as open source.
		Jam uses these rules (from a Jamfile or a group of Jamfiles) to define how Jam should build a set of targets, which can be object files, libraries, or executables.
		Jam processes dependencies rapidly, and its automatic generation of C and C++ header dependencies eliminates the necessity of declaring header or object files in the Jamfile.

	Introduction to Branching in Perforce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Perforce is clever - it will keep track of what is related to what however complex that relationship.
		Perforce has duplicated the metadata in its database to say that all the //depot/r1.0/...
		Perforce offers a very flexible and powerful mechanism for branches with which you can easily shoot yourself in the foot if you are not careful.

	Jam/MR "jam"
		jam parses rulesfile to identify targets and sources, examines the filesystem to determine which targets need updating, and issues OS commands to update targets.
		The normal implementation is this: jam reads the Jambase rules file, the text of which is stored inside the jam executable itself.
		After binding, jam again recursively descends the dependency graph, this time executing the update actions for each target marked for update during the binding phase.

		Perforce uses the basic client/server architecture—the archive is located on the server and files are copied to a client workspace when required.
		Perforce also supplies labels, but you don't need them as often because the top-level directory name specifies the branch name (unlike most SCM tools), and the version numbers are much easier to understand.

	Branching Case Study - Reconstructing a Relationship
		Perforce had been in use for some time in a purely development capacity and was being used in basic check-in/check-out mode using a single mainline.
		Modified HTML pages, scripts etc were transferred to test and live servers using scripts (this in itself was an advance on the previous mode of working where people manually transferred stuff on to the live server or made changes there!).
		One of the developers spent a some time going through all the files which were now in Perforce and deleting files (p4 delete) which were obviously not in use and had just accreted over the years on the live server.

	Differences between FT Jam and regular Jam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Jam is capable of scanning C source files to automatically determine header file dependencies.
		Jam cannot be run because you didn't indicate which compilation toolset to use.
		FT Jam provides an improved execution backend that is capable of detecting Win9x systems at runtime, and take special measures to deal with their limitation.

	Jam - Make(1) Redux
		Jam recursively builds target files from source files, using dependency information and updating actions expressed in the Jambase file, which is written in jam's own interpreted language.
		Jam treats its input files as whitespace-separated tokens, with two exceptions: double quotes (") can enclose whitespace to embed it into a token, and everything between the matching curly braces ({}) in the definition of a updating actions is treated as a single string.
		Jam variables are not re-exported to the environment of the shell that executes the updating actions, but the updating actions can reference jam variables with $(variable).

	freshmeat.net: Category Reviews - Make alternatives
		Jam is maintained and promoted by the people behind the perforce SCM tool.
		Jam was so influent that it generated a set of clones (FTJam, Boost.Jam, Boost.Jam.v2).
		Nevertheless, what is happening between jam and scons is noteworthy and it should be taken as an example on how to avoid reinventing thet wheel.

	Jam
		'Jam' is a 'make' replacement that runs on over 50 platforms; most Jamfiles are themselves portable.
		Before any targets are updated, Jam gathers complete dependency information for C/C++ source files.
		This lets Jam build as much as possible, instead of stopping on the first build error, avoid building targets if targets on which they depend fail to build, and build across parallel paths with multiple, concurrent processes.

	JAM - JavaGen Ant Modules - JAM 2.1 User's Guide
		JAM defines a small set of standard target names.
		JAM includes a Maven-to-Ant bridge providing access to Maven's POM and repository features directly from Ant.
		JAM has extensive support for various unit test technologies including JUnit and Cactus.
	javagen.com /jam/index.html (204 words)

	Jam/MR Language
		This is because jam runs on many platforms and no characters, save whitespace, are uncommon in the file names on all of those platforms.
		Normally, jam issues a warning about a target that can't be built and then refuses to build anything that depends on that target.
		jam can build targets in parallel, as long as the dependencies among files are properly spelled out and actions don't create fixed named files in the current directory.

	Jamfiles and Jambase
		jam parses the rules files to identify targets and sources, examines the filesystem to determine which targets need updating, and issues OS commands to update targets.
		The header file scanning occurs during the "file binding" phase of jam, which means that the target-specific variables (for the source file) are in effect.
		If they were set globally, jam would attempt to scan all files, even library archives and executables, for header file inclusions.

	New Build Tool: J2EE + Ant = JAM
		JAM is a modular Ant toolkit for developing and testing Java/J2EE applications.
		JAM is the result of two years of development and refactoring work by the Outsource Café and is published under the GNU GPL open-source license.
		JAM does supports incremental build and testing at the module level, you can look at the EJB module in the Petstore demo (http://www.javagen.com/petstoredemo.jsp) to see how its done.

	Portfile dependency question: boost-jam vs. jam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It was made by the people at Perforce and installs as /opt/local/bin/jam as a part of the DarwinPorts package devel/jam.
		B. if argv[0] is "jam" (same binary), the process only implements the boost improvements to Perforce's jam without requiring the boost-build system.
		This, of course, conflicts with the installation of Perforce's Jam.

	Jam Example
		Jam is the freeware Make replacement provided by Perforce.
		When working on smaller parts of the system, and in particular if you want to build with /debug switched on, you are better off creating a separate directory with a Jamfile and building in that directory.
		You can still tell Jam to go and find the relevant sources in the reference directory tree, yet build the objects and executables in the current directory.

	Installing Cygwin
		Cygwin paths, which you need to specify in your Perforce client spec, will not work if you use P4Win on Windows; the two are non-interoperable.

		The Jam tool will still work, but it will not be aware of some idiosyncracies of Cygwin.
