FishEye is a revision control browser[2] 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[3]. In addition to the advanced search[4] and diff capabilities[5], it provides:
- notion of changelog and changesets[6] (even if the underlying version control system does not support this, e.g. CVS).
- direct, resource-based URLs down to the line number[7]
- monitoring and user-level notifications via e-mail or RSS[8]
Use in Open Source Projects
Free licenses are approved for community and open source installations by Atlassian[3]under certain conditions. Many major open source projects use FishEye to provide a front-end for the source code repository[9]:
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
Currently it supports integration with the following revision control systems[12]: SVN, CVS, Perforce. 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 IDE's like IntelliJ IDEA[13] via the Atlassian IDE Connector.
