Well, I don't use the Perforce plugin, but the Subclipse Subversion
plugin adds things like:
* a entry in the "New Project" menu that allows you to check out a
project
* context menus for files/directories in a Subversion project that
let you do Subversion actions like update, commit, diff, etc.
* decorators on file/directories that indicate which files have been
changed, what revision they are on, when they were last checked in,
etc.
None of these things are visible until you create a new Subversion
project using "New Project".
I would assume that the Perforce plugin has a similar workflow.
