System Requirements
| Java Runtime |
A JDK or JRE version 1.5 or greater.
You can download a Java Runtime for Windows/Linux/Solaris On MacOSX the JVM is available as part of the OS install. here. Note: There appeared to be a problem with the first release of the JRockit 5.0 JVM (R25.0.0-75) when using FishEye. If you use the JRockit JVM we recommend you use a later release. |
| CVS | If you are using CVS, FishEye needs read-access your CVS repository via the file system (it does not support protocols such pserver at the moment). |
| Subversion (server) | FishEye can communicate with any repository running Subversion 1.1 or later. |
| Subversion (client) | FishEye uses the native Subversion client installed on your system. which must be version 1.2 or later and include the JavaHL bindings. Please see Subversion Client Setup for more information. |
| Perforce (client) | FishEye needs access to the p4 client executable. Due to some problems with earlier versions of the client, we recommend version 2006.2 or later. |
| Operating System | FishEye is a pure Java application and should run on any platform provided the above requirements are satisfied. |
Caveats
- Currently, the $Log RCS expansion keyword is not handled correctly by FishEye. Some diff results (and line numbers in diffs) may appear incorrect in files were $Log is used.
- When indexing the contents of files, FishEye has an internal limit on the number of tokens/words in the file it can index. Any text past the one-millionth token/word in a file is ignored.
Future SCM support
At this time, FishEye only supports CVS (and CVS-NT), Subversion and Perforce.
Support for other version control systems (such as ClearCase) will be added to FishEye in the future. Let us know what SCM you would like to see supported by posting to the forums
