Minor
Jenkins is launched with JENKINS_HOME set to /home/jenkins, yet for some reason that I can't find, the p4 plugin is complaining about /var/lib/jenkins.

If I make /var/lib/jenkins a symlink to /home/jenkins, then the error changes to
SEVERE: P4: Unable to login: com.perforce.p4java.exception.ConnectionException: com.perforce.p4java.exception.ConfigException: java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException: /var/lib/jenkins
