FishEye is a revision-control browser[1] and search engine owned by Atlassian, Inc. Although FishEye is a commercial product, it is freely available to open source projects and non-profit institutions.[2] In addition to the advanced search[3] and diff capabilities,[4] it provides:

However it lacks some basic capabilities that exist in other revision-control browsers (e.g. Trac, Redmine) such as being able to compare different revisions of a folder, or compare two folders (such as branches and tags). This is widely seen as a critical omission and vastly reduces Fisheye's usefulness as a tool in managing the software release process.[8]

Use in open-source projects

Atlassian approves free licenses for community and open-source installations[2] under certain conditions. Many major open source projects use FishEye to provide a front-end for the source code repository:[9]

OpenSymphony http://svn.opensymphony.com/fisheye/
OsCommerce http://svn.oscommerce.com/fisheye/
Spring Framework[10] https://fisheye.springframework.org/

Atlassian and Contegix provide free deployments of FishEye and Crucible for open-source projects.[11] For large developer communities, dedicated instances are available to the public, either self-hosted or provided by the hosting service:

Integration

As of 2010 FishEye supported integration with the following revision control systems:[12]

Due to the resource-based URLs, it is possible to integrate FishEye with different issue and bug tracking systems. It also provides a REST and XML-RPC API. FishEye also integrates with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA[13] via the Atlassian IDE Connector.
